Archival history
The documents in this collection are from the heritage of Gábor Magos (1914-2000) and Judith Juca Magos-Gimes (1920-2014). The first installment was selected, annotated and arranged for archiving by Juca together with Csaba Szilagyi in Dübendorf near Zurich in 2011. A second shipment from the same heritage was prepared and sent to Blinken OSA by their daughter, Judith Luif, following the death of Judith Magos-Gimes.
Content and structure
Scope and content (abstract)
This fonds primarily consists of the personal papers of Gábor Magos, an agricultural engineer, college professor and close co-worker of Prime Minister Imre Nagy during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. It also includes several files on his wife, Judith Magos-Gimes, an instructor, librarian and translator, who maintained and prepared the collection for archiving. Her brother, Miklós Gimes, a journalist and politician was executed for his revolutionary activities together with Imre Nagy and Pál Maléter in 1958.
Documents include letters, handwritten and typed notes, transcripts, copies of archival documents, reports, newspapers and media clippings, publications, diplomas, memorial awards, photographs, audio cassettes, CD-ROMs, and books. (These latter are with the Blinken OSA library's special collections.)
The fonds is arranged in five series, with documents covering the following aspects of the donors' life: family, professional activities, the 1956 Hungarian revolution and its memory, and life in exile after the crushing of the revolution.
