* 1863 – Matica slovenská, Slovakia's public-law cultural and scientific institution focusing on topics around the Slovak nation, is established in Martin.

This mainly took the form of celebrations and commemorations, such as the 150th birthdays of 19th century leaders of the Slovak National Revival Ľudovít Štúr and Jozef Miloslav Hurban, the centennial of the Matica slovenská in 1963, and the twentieth anniversary of the Slovak National Uprising.

Published on occasion of establishing Matica slovenská (" Slovak Foundation "), major patriotic organization.

* Matica slovenská

From 1928 he was a teacher in Martin, where he simultaneously worked in the Music department of Matica slovenská.

He was a co-author of the Slovak Requests of Liptovský Mikuláš ( 1848 ), Requests of the Slovak Nation ( 1848 ), Memorandum of the Slovak Nation in 1861, and was one of the founders of the Matica slovenská ( Slovak Foundation ) in 1863.

The first seat of Matica slovenská in city of Martin

It is governed by the " Act on Matica slovenská " of 1997.

The anniversary of the 1863 establishment of Matica slovenská on August 4 is locally known as Deň Matice Slovenskej, a Remembrance Day in Slovakia.

As a result, the Matica slovenská was founded on August 4, 1863 at an assembly of some 5000 Slovak patriots in Turčiansky Svätý Martin ( today Martin ).

The Matica slovenská drew members from all parts of the nation.

The Matica slovenská could not resume its activities until after the dissolution of the Kingdom of Hungary and establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918, when the conditions for the national life of the Slovaks improved.

Matica slovenská played an important role in further development of Slovak culture and scholarship.

The establishment of the Communist regime in 1948 initially threatened the existence of the Matica slovenská, since communist ideology, policy and the principles of socialist culture contradicted the principles upon which the Matica slovenská had been established.

According to an act of the Slovak National Council of 1954, the Matica slovenská was reduced to the Slovak National Library and Biographic Institute with a limited role within the fields of librarianship, bibliography and archives.

They were manifested openly in 1963 during the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Matica slovenská and culminated in 1968-69 ( the Prague spring period ) when Matica became a significant cultural and political institution again.

After the defeat of the reform movement in Czecho-Slovakia in 1969, the normalization regime almost liquidated the effort to renew the Matica slovenská.

The collapse of the communist regime in November 1989 brought new environment for the development of Matica slovenská and the possibility for the public to become members has been renewed.

Matica slovenská was also strongly against the integration of Slovak Republic into the European Union and NATO, despite the fact that this very integration had even been part of Vladimír Mečiar's isolationist government declaration.

Matica slovenská was also responsible for the collection of voluntary goods and money for the so-called " National Treasure ", created in 1992, whose purpose was to help finance the activities of the Matica.

* Neografia, a. s. – a printing company taken over by Matica in 1993 ; historically for decades the most modern and significant printing house of Slovakia producing for Western Europe ;

Matica slovenská's name is a source of puzzlement among many Slovaks.

Based on this model the following institutions were established: Czech Matica in 1831, Illyrian Matica in 1842 ( in 1874 renamed to Matica Hrvatska ); Matica Lužičkosrpska in 1847, Halych-Russian Matica in Lviv in 1848 ; Moravian Matica in 1849 ; Matica Dalmatinska in Zadar in 1861 ; Slovak Matica in 1863 ; Slovenian Matica in 1864 ; Matica Opava in 1877 ; Matica in the Teschen Princedom in 1898.

He was an employee of the Slovak Academy of Sciences since 1943, of the Slovak Matica and from 1970-1973 director of the Institute for Literal History of the Slovak Academy of Sciences.

* Georgije Magarašević ( 1824-1830 ), man of letters, founder, publisher and editor, before and after it was incorporated as an official organ of the Matica srpska in 1825 / 1826

Before the creation of the Slovak Academy of Sciences ( 1942 / 1953 ), the Matica functioned as a substitute for a general supreme scientific, and initially even for any other, institution of the Slovaks.

Chairmen and / or vice-chairmen of the Matica:

Over the years secretaries and / or administrators of the Matica have included:

The Matica srpska ( Serbian Cyrillic: Матица српска ) is the oldest cultural-scientific institution of Serbia.

Indeed, the oldest is Matica srpska founded in 1826 in Pest by Jovan Hadžić, at the same time as the Hungarian Academy was being built.

In 1863 the move was nevertheless accomplished, and the Matica, as well as the journal Letopis, is flourishing there today.

Matica srpska publishes the " Letopis Matice srpske " magazine, which is one of the oldest in the world, being continuously published since 1824.

The Law of the Matica Srpska Society ( 1986 ) regulates matters of endowment and legacy, given by the national benefactors, and how money is spent for various cultural and educational purposes.

" Una Matica de Ruda " is a traditional Sephardic wedding song, dating back to the Middle Ages.

Matica Srpska is the oldest and most notable cultural and scientific organisation in today's Serbia.

It is not to be confounded with Slovenska matica ( also sometimes referred to as Matica slovenska ), an analogous Slovene institution.

" Matica " used in this context is a Serbian word and means " source " or " mother bee ".

The very first definition dictated by the law is that Matica slovenská is a " verejnoprávna ustanovizeň " a coupling of words that has never been explained in any law ever codified in the Slovak Republic ( a problem that plagued the Slovak Television for a long time ).

According to this law, Matica is also allowed to create textbooks for both elementary schools and high-schools in Slovakia.

Matica slovenská is allowed by law to receive money from the state and at the same time make business with its own property.

According to an article by Eva Mihočková published in major Slovak weekly Plus 7 Dní on October 7, 2010, there is proof that Matica slovenská lost almost all of the money ( 23-28 million Slovak crowns ) of the so-called Slovak national treasure, by investing it through a now-bankrupt company Capital Invest, into the Podielové družstvo Slovenské investície ( PDSI ), a Non-bank financial institution.
