Academic workers of the of the Institute understand the cultural wealth of archives, libraries and objects of heritage in region as a possible base for solving theoretical questions of historical science of European importance. For many years the scholarly work of the Institute has been systematically focused on extensive fundamental research in the historical topics such as early modern society /with the emphasis on the social and cultural history of aristocratic elites/, everyday culture from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 20th century, the history of upper social classes in the 19th and early 20th century, Czech-French relations, positivistic historiography, cultural personalities of the South Bohemia region and changes in the cultural atmosphere of this region. History The University of South Bohemia Ceske Budejovice was established by the proclamation of the Bill of the Czech National Council No. 314/1991 Col. which came into effect on 28 September 1991. This new educational institution came into existence through the joining of two previously existing faculties: The Pedagogical Faculty in Ceské Budejovice and the Faculty of Agronomy of the Agricultural University in Prague. Following the Academic Senate approval of 11 November 1991, other faculties of biology, theology, health and social care were added, and on 1 September 1994 the Faculty of Management located in Jindnichuv Hradec was also added to these two founding faculties. The latter of the above-mentioned faculties was transferred to the University of Economy in Prague on 1 January 1998. The university seal shows the Czech lion holding in its fore paws a shield in the middle of which there is a rose of the old South Bohemian House of Rosenberg. This points out the intentions of the university to follow the old educational South Bohemian tradition.

The university’s activities influence the development in the whole South Bohemian region.
