Under the communist regime, ecclesiastical bodies once active in education, medical and social care were deprived of their property and either restricted in their autonomy in their former undertakings, or completely banned. The Hungarian Association of Ecclesiastical Libraries has been fighting for more than 25 years for recognition of its member libraries and for a professional re-engagement into the national system of Hungarian libraries. Striving to ensure optimal development for all members, its recent achievements and regained authority in the educational and research setting suggest that the effort is worthwhile. |
