Az 1985-ös budapesti Kulturális Fórum és Ellen-Fórum iratai, 1985.

The documents of the Cultural Forum and Counter-Forum of Budapest in late 1985 reflected on the major changes which had just begun at the time in East-West relations, politics, and diplomacy, together with the challenging concept of cultural freedom as a basic part of human rights. For the official Forum, some 850 participants were accredited to Budapest, thus the city was home for six weeks to a legion of diplomats and experts. However, instead of the protocol-like program of the official Forum, the real novelty which caught the attention of the world, the samizdat press, the Western public, and dissidents from the East (not to mention the Hungarian secret police, who were busier than ever) was an open dispute among writers and intellectuals from both East and West that was held at a poet’s flat and then at a film director’s apartment, and which lasted three days. The rich and versatile sub-collection contains many exciting documents which are of potential interest both to Hungarian and international visitors.

1985年末，布达佩斯文化论坛与反文化论坛的文件反映了当时东西方关系、政治与外交领域所发生的重大变革，以及对文化自由作为人权基本组成部分的挑战性概念进行了反思。对于官方论坛，约850名参与者获得布达佩斯官方认可，因此这座城市在六周内成为了众多外交官和专家的聚集地。然而，与官方论坛的礼仪性议程不同，真正引起世界关注的新颖之处——自印出版物、西方公众以及来自东欧的持不同政见者（更不用说忙碌不已的匈牙利秘密警察）——在于东西方作家和知识分子在一位诗人的寓所及一位电影导演的住所展开的公开辩论，这场辩论持续了三天。这个丰富多彩且多样化的子集包含了众多激动人心的文件，这些文件对于匈牙利和国际访客都具有潜在的兴趣。
