The person and ethos of József Antall has been a decisive influence on the Batthyány Lajos Foundation since its 1991 establishment (initiated by Antall himself). At the dawn of the transition period our organisation set out to support patriotic politics by assembling the intellectual prowess of our country. This determination has consistently driven our activities in the past three decades. The establishment of the Antall Archives is our way of paying respects to the late Prime Minister. Our bilingual database serves the purpose of helping researchers and those interested to learn about the life and achievements of the first freely elected prime minister of Hungary.
