The Danilo Kiš collection contains the estate of one of the most important non-conformist writers of socialist Yugoslavia. Kiš's collection is kept at the Archives of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU). His anti-authoritarian stance triggered attacks on his writing, which brought him to court. "Nobody did more to prove that Europe's twentieth-century experiments in fiction can take the measure of its experiments in totalitarianism, without curbing the liberties of the one or blurring the crimes of the other." asserts Mark Thompson in "Birth Certificate. The Story of Danilo Kiš" (2013, xi).

After the death of Tito, in 1980, the artist Goranka Matić walked the streets of Belgrade for several days and photographed shop windows displaying photo portraits of Tito decorated with a black ribbon as a sign of mourning. This ad-hoc collection at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Belgrade presents the series of Goranka Matić's photographs resembling postcards and showing the shop displays of bakers, butchers, grocers, hat sellers, hairdressers and perfumeries, all arranged with one addition – the president’s photograph. The album’s title, ‘Days of Pain and Pride’, is ironic, referring to the press media at the time that relentlessly ran the story of the death and funeral of the SFRY’s lifelong president.

A Határ/idő/napló – erdélyi figyelő 1987 és 1989 márciusa között az egyetlen olyan cenzúrázatlan, magyarországi folyóirat volt, amely kizárólag e célból elindítva, rendszeresen hírt adott a terror és nyomor sújtotta Románia megpróbáltatásairól a Ceauşescu-diktatúra utolsó éveiben. A Budapesten szerkesztett, Magyarországon, Erdélyben és a nyugati magyarság körében egyaránt terjesztett, esetenként 3-6 íves lap e két év alatt 9 számot ért meg – az első 150, az utolsó 2 ezer példányban készült fénymásolatban, majd nyomtatásban. A lap fiatal újságíró, tanár és történész munkatársai abból a nyolcvanas évek kezdetén verbuvált, több mint kétszáz tagú önkéntes segély-mozgalomból kerültek ki, mely kezdetben informálisan az ETE (Erdélyieket Támogatók Egylete), majd 1990-től immár bejegyezve a TRANSCAR (Transylvania Caritas) néven vált ismertté.

The records of Croatian-American sociologist Dinko Tomašić are deposited at the Hoover Institution Library & Archives, Stanford University. In accordance with its own themes and periodization, it covers Tomašić's public work after the Second World War, when he settled in the United States as a political émigré. The collection testifies to Tomašić's sociological research, in which he critically examined political and social phenomena of post-war communist society in Croatia and Yugoslavia. The main thesis of Tomašić's sociological theory was that the revolutionary transformation of society and the huge growth of the party-state’s power destroyed political, economic, social and cultural pluralism in the public life of the Yugoslav nations. Based on his sociological methods, and making use of results the fields of ethnography and anthropology, he believed that the source of the Yugoslav revolution derived from the specific Dinaric culture, which belonged to economically passive territories, regions where the Partisan movement secured the great support, such as Montenegro, Dalmatia, Lika, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
