Archival history
In 1995 the Open Society Archives acquired a collection of 157 photographs from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Hungarian Desk taken by Hungarian and Western photo journalists in Hungary during the revolution. The Research Institute of Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) in Munich, Germany collected these pictures, together with their original captions for the purposes of an exhibition organized by RFE/RL Hungarian Desk to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Revolution at the RFE/RL in 1986. ​ ​​ ​ ​Using the original news agency and RFE/RL captions, and identifying locations of the events captured in the photos, the collection was initially processed at OSA in 1996. For reference services, reproductions – both negatives and prints – were created of the photographic master prints in 1996, too. The series was digitized in 2018 by OSA.​ ​ ​

​The 157 photographs, negatives and paper prints, were originally taken by Hungarian and Western photo journalists in Hungary during the 1956 Revolution, and collected by Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty for the purposes of an exhibition.
















Scope and Content (Narrative)
The 157 photographs, negatives and paper prints, were originally taken by Hungarian and Western photo journalists in Hungary during the 1956 Revolution. The Research Institute of Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) in Munich, Germany collected these pictures, together with their original captions for the purposes of an exhibition organized by RFE/RL Hungarian Desk to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Revolution at the RFE/RL in 1986. The curator of the exhibition was Gyula Borbándi. 

Some of the photos of the Western news agencies were published in the special edition of Life magazine in November, 1956. The publication of the photos caused great concern in Hungary and at Radio Free Europe as well fearing that the Hungarian political police might use the photographs to identify street fighters, demonstrators and other participants of the Revolution, which could potentially be dangerous for them. 

The collection comprises of the original RFE/RL master prints, their captions, some additional description from the 1986 Munich exhibition, and of the reproductions created by OSA for access purposes. Many of the photographs have duplicates in various qualities and sizes. 

The 157 unique objects and their copies are assembled and kept in special sleeves in three acid-free archival boxes and are open for the public. A digital set is also available.

A megőrzés története
A Vera és Donald Blinken Nyílt Társadalom Archívum 1995-ben kapta meg a Szabad Európa Rádió/Szabadság Rádió magyar szerkesztőségétől a 157 fotót, amelyeket magyar és nyugati sajtófotósok készítettek Magyarországon az 1956-os forradalom során. A Szabad Európa Rádió/Szabadság Rádió Münchenben működő Kutatóintézete a képeket az eredeti képaláírásokkal együtt a SzER/SzR-ben a magyar szerkesztőség által 1986-ban rendezett, a forradalom 30. évfordulójáról megemlékező kiállítás céljából gyűjtötte össze.  Az OSA 1996-ban dolgozta fel a gyűjteményt az eredeti hírügynökségi fotók és a SzER/SzR képaláírások alapján, a helyszínek és események beazonosításával.  A sorozatot az OSA 2018-ban digitalizálta.

Tartalom és Szerkezet

Tárgy és tartalom (Kivonat)
​A 157 fényképet -negatívokat és papírképek – eredetileg magyar és nyugati sajtófotósok készítették Magyarországon az 1956-os forradalom során. A képeket később a Szabad Európa Rádió/Szabadság Rádió gyűjtötte össze kiállítás céljából. 





Tárgy és tartalom (Narratív)
A 157 fényképet -negatívokat és papírképek – eredetileg magyar és nyugati sajtófotósok készítették Magyarországon az 1956-os forradalom során. 

A Szabad Európa Rádió/Szabadság Rádió Münchenben működő Kutatóintézete a képeket az eredeti képaláírásokkal együtt a SzER/SzR-ben a magyar szerkesztőség által 1986-ban rendezett, a forradalom 30. évfordulójáról megemlékező kiállítás céljából gyűjtötte össze. A kiállítás kurátora Borbándi Gyula volt. 

A nyugati hírügynökségek által készített fotók némelyike 1956 novemberében megjelenet a Life magazin különszámában, ami aggodalmat keltett mind Magyarországon, mind a SzER szerkesztőségében, hogy a képek veszélybe sodorják a fegyveres felkelőket, tüntetőket és a forradalom egyéb résztvevőit, mert a magyar politikai rendőrség a fényképek alapján azonosítani tudja őket. 

A gyűjteménybe tartoznak a SzER/SzR 1956-os kiállítására összegyűjtött papírképek, képaláírások és egyéb információk, illetve az OSA által kutatási célra gyártott másolatok. 

Számos fotónak több, eltérő minőségű és méretű másolata is van. A 157 egyedi kép és ezek duplumai speciális fóliában, három savmentes dobozban találhatóak, szabadon kutathatóak. Digitális sorozatként is hozzáférhetőek.
