Professional recommendation and opinion
"The Archive edited by you is an important undertaking and also a mission, as it speaks to future generations in this age that focuses on the present.
The selected persons come from various sectors of Hungarian society, so the Archive covers almost the entire circle of culture in the broader sense, not only those who are successful in the fields of science and art, but also in the fields of economy and politics. These people are diverse, but they have one thing in common, and that is that they created value with their work and gained the respect of the community. The degree of personal success may vary, but portrait films show more than that; the messages of example in human stories and the personality. This Archive will become truly significant in fifty years, when historians will be looking for reliable information about the researched era or about a famous person. Narrated private history and historical experience survives in diaries, letters, and conversations.
On behalf of myself and all future researchers, I would like to thank your Editorial Board in advance for the work they are doing here and now!
It was an honor for me to be included in the Hungarian Video Hall of Fame with the portrait film you made. I would also like to thank them for their humane and professional attitude during the filming and the professionalism with which they created the film!
Sincerely,
Dr. Gabriella Gáspár - habilitated associate professor of the Department of Sociology, Institute of Social and Media Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Pécs"
