Request
Dear reader, many people have helped me to create these web
pages, see the Acknowledgements. I kindly ask You
the following:
- Any photo or information
related to the history of Croats in general would be welcome.
I am in particular interested in old photos of Croatian
cultural organizations throughout the world. For example
a photo of old Croatian tamburitza players (and
not only tamburitza players) would be welcome.
- I am very interested in any information (including
photos) of cultural society Hrvatska zena
(Croatian Woman), founded in 1920's in Zagreb, forbidden
from 1945 till 1990 by ex-Yugoslavia, but some of its
branches, like the one in Chicago, USA, continued to exist.
I know that there existed (or even still exists) Hrvatska
zena in Punta Arenas, on the very south of Chile.
- Some of the best church frescos in the USA are in
Croatian churches, painted by Maxo Vanka.
I would deeply appreciate a photo.
- One of the greatest mathematicians in history is
Leonhard Euler (18th century). I have information that he
was communicating in written with Rugjer
Boskovic, and
that his letters are kept in Boskovic Archives at
the Rare Books library in Berkeley, University of California, USA.
It would be extremely interesting to translate some of
this letters into English and Croatian.
