Established in 1993, the Association for the Research of History, Anthropology and Literature (ZAK) is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation of researchers and authors who pursue research in the fields of history, anthropology, and literature. The core focus of their scholarly endeavours is the condemnation of all forms of totalitarianism and destructive impulses and the celebration of human development and creativity. The association also publishes books and the journal Borec.
