Otakar Kašpárek and His Contribution to Topography of Moravian Teachers

Petr Hlaváček


The study is a result of a search for the originator of a useful archive aid and its brief evaluation. The author outlined for the reader the profile of a researcher, the life story of which avoided the attention of the public for 75 years, and, as far as the aid itself is concerned, the writer discovered at least some of the sources and possible basis for its creation. In the 1940s, Dr Otakar Kašpárek created unique research aids called School Phases of Genealogical Source and a List of Teachers at Moravian Schools in the Years 1770 – 1872, which have been since then kept in the research section of the Moravian Land Archives in Brno. When the author of this contribution, while having had used these aids for several years, began to take an interest in the person of Dr Kašpárek, he discovered facts so different from his initial idea, that he decided to sum up in this study the biography of this, until now, unnoticed researcher as well as circumstances and parameters of his extraordinary work.
