History
Slezský sborník is a Czech scholarly historical journal whose roots go back to 1878, when it began publication under the title Věstník Matice opavské. It was founded by Matice opavská, an Opava-based cultural and educational association active in Czech national and regional life in Silesia. The journal was published under that original title until 1936, when it was renamed Slezský sborník. Since then it has appeared under its current name, with the subtitle čtvrtletník pro vědy o společnosti (quarterly for the social sciences). Over the decades the journal has been associated with the Silesian Museum in Opava (Slezské zemské muzeum v Opavě), which today publishes it and hosts its official web pages. The journal has maintained a focus on the history of Silesia and the Czech lands, regional and local history, and related social-science themes. In the contemporary period it has been accepted into ERIH PLUS, the European Reference Index for the Humanities and the Social Sciences, a European database of peer-reviewed journals in the humanities and social sciences. This indexing reflects the journal's continued role as a recognized venue for Czech and Central European historical scholarship.
