The documents in this collection span the inter-war years but cluster around the 1930-1936 period when Pribičeviʹc was living in exile in France and Czechoslovakia. They consist primarily of correspondence, police reports, foreign mission dossiers, clippings and speeches and shed light on Pribičeviʹc's public life. These materials are part of the holdings of the archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences, the National Museum and the Office of the President of the Republic, and were microfilmed in 1967 at the request of Stoyan Pribichevich, the son of Svetozar Pribičeviʹc.
