The First Croatian Scientific Journal as a Site of Production and Circulation of Knowledge

More than 180 years after the first two scientific journals in Paris and London were published, the first issue of the Arkiv za povjestnicu jugoslavensku (Archive for history of South Slavs), the first scientific journal in Croatia, was printed in 1851. In the period from 1851 to 1875 twelve volumes were published. Editor in chief was Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski who was also head of the Society for history of South Slavs and the official archivist of Croatia. This journal was dedicated to history, archaeology and art history of territories inhabited by Croatians and other South Slavic nations. In this paper the scope of this journal will be situated within the mid-nineteenth century political context of the Habsburg Monarchy and Croatia. Research in this paper will include different types and forms of knowledge from various fields and how they are produced and presented in the journal. Based primarily on lists of members of the Society for history of South Slavs who were mostly readers, but some of them also contributing authors of the journal, the circulation of knowledge produced in the journal will be examined and its impact in Croatian society in the second half of the nineteenth century will be evaluated. Finally, the conducted research will enable showing the important role of this journal in shaping Croatian historical science in the nineteenth century.
