摘要：The cultural and historical department of the Bjelovar Municipal Museum includes, among others, a Local History Collection that it strives to expand through bequests from authors born in Bjelovar and the region of the Bjelovar-Bilogora County. A small but signiÞ cant list of such individuals from the Bjelovar region begins with the name of Ivan Trnski, the Þ rst administrator of the Bjelovar County (1871) and the first president of the Society of Croatian Writers (1900), whose literary beginnings go back to the period of the Croatian National Revival. This list should move through Đuro Sudeta, Krsto Špoljar, Željko Sabol, Milan Taritaš and Mirko Sabolović, and end with Goran Tribuson, one of the most proliÞ c and most widely read contemporary Croatian novelist. However, we have yet to collect material relating to some of these authors, and negotiations are underway with members of their families.
