The private collection contains materials documenting the celebration of the Grand Jubilee, when 100,000 pilgrims gathered in Solin in Dalmatia on 12 September 1976. The Grand Jubilee celebrated the thirteen centuries of the first contacts of the Croats with the Holy See and 1,000 years of the construction of the first known Croatian Marian shrine. By commemorating the Croatian Catholic medieval rulers and statehood, the Church articulated a collective identity rooted in the past and tradition. As such, it was inherently opposed to the socialist imagery offered by the Yugoslav state. Some Communist Party members saw in the massive mobilisation of believers the “escalation of nationalism” as a follow-up to the Croatian Spring.

The Grgo Šore Goli Otok Collection is part of a broader collection consisting of documents from personal and family bequests and is kept in the Croatian History Museum. The collection includes documentation about Goli otok (a small rocky island in the Adriatic Sea), official correspondence, newspapers and photographs. In his manuscripts, Grgo Šore described in detail all of the horrors he experienced on Goli otok during his captivity as a falsely accused “Cominformist.” Particularly noteworthy are the drawings depicting the brutal treatment of inmates by the prison guards.

Neformalnu grupu Šestoro umetnika činili su Raša Todosijević, Era Milivojević, Marina Abramović, Zoran Popović, Neša Paripović i Gergelj Urkom.Delovanje ovih umetnika počinje sa osnivanjem Studentskog kulturnog centra uBeogradu 1971. i trajedo 1973. godine, kada svako od njih počinje samostalno danastupa. Njihova umetnička aktivnost predstavljala je pre svega otpor prema postojećoj praksi koja seizučavala u okviru školskih programa na Akademiji likovnihumetnosti u Beogradu. Zalagali su se za uspostavljanje savremenog pristupa ukoncepciji i delovanju umetničkih institucija kao i za prevrednovanjepojma umetničkog dela. Akcent počinje da se stavlja na umetnika kao subjekta i na njegov autorski govor, “govor u prvomlicu”. Umetnici počinju da uvode nove medije u umetnost (instalaciju, telesnu akciju, fotografije, film, tekst...).

The private collection of historian Gábor Klaniczay (1950-) includes written, visual, and audio sources from the 1970s and 1980s. These sources all concern the alternative, underground cultural trends, art, music performances, and political oppositional movements of the period. The almost entire series of the samizdat publications from Hungary also constitute an important part of the collection, as do the leaflets and posters from his trips to Paris and New York.
