The first year of the Prize of Memory of Nations, directed by Václav Marhoul, took place in 2010 in Žofín Palace in Prague.

The Prize of Memory of Nations are awards for persons who have shown in their lives that honor, freedom and human dignity are not just empty words. People of the Czech and Slovak Republics who spent years in communist prisons have taken over the People's Memory Award. The organizers of the gala evening are Post Bellum, Czech Television, Czech Radio and Television of Slovakia and the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes. Each of the winners can state their wishes and the organizers will try to grant them.

The winners of the first year of the Prize of Memory of Nations were Tomáš Sedláček, Věra Roubalová-Kostlánová, Jan Pecka and Šimon Pánek. From that year to the present (2017), 29 people have been awarded prizes. Among them are war veterans, political prisoners, resistance fighters, Holocaust survivors, persecuted writers or underground people, scouts, church members, and many others.

A CSEMADOK országos rendezvényeihez kapcsolódó iratanyag nagyon fontos része a gyűjteménynek. Már a CSEMADOK megalakulása óta évente megrendezésre került néhány országos fesztiválja. A fesztiválok elsődleges célja a szlovákiai magyarság nemzeti öntudatának elmélyítése volt. Ezt az a tény is alátámasztja, hogy a fesztiválokon mindig részt vettek magyarországi fellépők is. Ezt azonban a 70-es és a 80-as években megtiltották.  

Already in the 1990s, Monica Lovinescu and Virgil Ierunca decided that their impressive collection in Paris was going to be donated to the Romanian state after their death. Consequently, in 1998 they named two of their close friends, Gabriel Liiceanu and Mihnea Berindei, as executors of their will. The two were thus entrusted with bringing Lovinescu and Ierunca’s collection (composed of books, documents, and vinyl discs) to Romania (Lovinescu 2010, 477). After the death of the owners and creators, Gabriel Liiceanu and Mihnea Berindei divided the collection between them. A part, composed mainly of manuscripts, memoirs, clippings from newspapers, copies of press articles, magazines and other foreign press publications, was donated in 2012 to the National Archive of Romania. The books were divided among three institutions: The Union of Writers in Romania in Bucharest (about 1,250 rare books), The Faculty of Political Sciences in Bucharest (around 1,500 books),and the University of Oradea. On September 6, 2011, the Humantis Aqua Forte Foundation donated the rest of the documents and manuscripts to the Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile (IICCMER) (Meseșan 2015, 14–15).

The person who intermediated the donation to the University Library in Oradea was Lilian Zamfiroiu. A PhD candidate in history at the University of Oradea, Lilian Zamfiroiu was also the deputy of the Romanian ambassador at UNESCO, Nicolae Manolescu. Thus, Zamfiroiu persuaded Manolescu to contact Mihnea Berindei, and ask him to donate a part of the Monica Lovinescu and Virgil Ierunca collection to Oradea University Library. Thus, on April 27, 2010 a large truck full of books from the house of the two collectors in Paris arrived in Oradea. The books were unloaded from the truck and stored in the new modern building of Oradea University Library in (Matica 2010, 3; Editorial Jurnal bihorean 2013, 3). Since 2011 the Monica Lovinescu and Virgil Ierunca collection has been housed in a special room at Oradea University Library and is open for research to students, scholars, and other people interested in the history of the Romanian exile community and cultural dissident movement.

The Oral History Collection at CNSAS is a unique collection of this kind as it includes only interviews with individuals who are the subjects of personal files in the CNSAS Archives, and who after studying these personal files created by the Securitate agreed to narrate their own experience of entanglement with the secret police. The interviewees include not only individuals who were under surveillance and thus victims of the Securitate, but also individuals who collaborated with the secret police to provide information on others: family, friends, and colleagues. Both types of interviews represent the response of the interviewees to the narrative created about them by the Securitate.

On October 29, 2010, the Study Centre for National Reconciliation organized a trip to the island of Goli for the interested public, students, professors and journalists. The purpose of the trip was to familiarize the public with the events that took place on Goli during the period of socialist rule, and the main eyewitness of those events was Andrej Aplenc. Aplenc was detained on Goli as a student on two occasions and as a part of the excursion, he talked about life and survival on the island.

Czech Television (the transferee) and the Original Videojournal Ltd. (the transferor) made a contract for the transfer of the ownership rights as well as the rights of the audiovisual record producer on 13 October 2010. The subject of the contract was uncut material on VHS cassette tapes which was shot between 1987 and 1989 for the purpose of Original Videojournal production. Because of this agreement, the archive of CT could digitise the material and preserve it for future use. The contract also allowed Czech Television to use the content of video cassette tapes in a documentary series about OVJ, which included previously unpublished shots.

Vanda Zaborskaitė (1922-2010) was a professor of Lithuanian literature. In 1961, she was dismissed from her position as a lecturer at Vilnius University because of her 'nationalism'. After that, she found a position at the Lithuanian Institute of History. While she had other research topics at the institute, she also worked on Lithuanian literature, researching a very disapproved of topic at the time, the work and activities of the Lithuanian poet Jonas Mačiulis-Maironis (1862-1932). Maironis was a Catholic priest, who used strong patriotic and nationalist expression in his works, and the Soviet regime had to consider how to interpret his legacy, what parts of his work should be available to society, and what should be seen as religious.
