The course introduces students into the basic auxiliary historic sciences. The course is divided into blocks which reflect each auxiliary historic science, their development, method and basic sources, tools and scientific literature.
The student will gain basic knowledge of the methodological and methodic issues in the so called auxiliary historic sciences as the basic disciplines for critical work with written as well as complementary sources. After attending the course the student must be able to describe the development and scientific contribution of the auxiliary historic sciences to the general work in historic sciences, he must know the methodology of work and the sources usable for the study of diplomatics, palaeography, sphragistics and historical chronology. He must also know his way in applicability of these disciplines in modern life (e.g. diplomatics of electronic documents, transformation of credentials of documents of legally binding force, attempts to create a world uniform calendar, etc.)
