This set contains data and metadata about mathematical archives and libraries, collections of mathematicians. This set contains data from the main project but also from previous research by Tomáš W. Pavlíček.
It is planned to expand this dataset by adding new files systematically.
Files in this dataset:

Sołtysiak How I met Jaroslav Zemánek (2020, recollection by Prof. Andrzej Sołtysiak, manuscript - language: English; recollection for the interviewer, personal archive of Tomáš W. Pavlíček)
The interconnectedness of Czech and Polish Mathematicians in the interwar period could be signed as Slavic Mathematicians. The interconnectedness in the postwar period (called The Time of Mathematical Olimpiades) contains bilateral contacts of mathematicians, contacts in the Central-Eastern Europe, and global cooperation. The focus is on studies abroad (supervisors) and circulation of knowledge.
The project Czechoslovak-Polish Scholarly Entanglements in the Cold War Between High Politics and Individual Strategies was funded by the Narodowe Centrum Nauki (OPUS 2020/39/I/HS3/03589) and runs under the Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences (co-funded by the Grantová agentura ČR, GA ČR 21-45624L).
