of the 51st Anniversary of the Archives of Yugoslavia. The documents presented
to the audience and the visitors give the full richness and diversities
of the activities accomplished by this professional association which primary
aims were legal and material support to the teachers, educational, cultural
and ethical issues to deal with.

The author of the exhibition, Miss Sandra Popovic, selected 212 original
documents and arranged them in 19 thematic units. They describe the development
of the Yugoslav Teachers’ Association which played very important role
in the educational and social life of the prewar Yugoslavia, from the time
of the Inaugural Congress held in Belgrade 1920th until the outburst of
the Second World War when the Association seized to exist. Through the
documents exhibited a visitor becomes aquainted with its organization and
activities in the fields of culture, education, humanitarian work, publishing,
international cooperation with the similar associations in the State and
Abroad. Special attention attracts the attitudes that teachers had towards
the social and material problems they faced in their everyday life and
work; the possibilities of receiving advanced training, professional security,
specific position of the women teachers and many other important issues.
