The article reflects on personal correspondence as a historical source that once held significant value not only as a testament to its time but also for literary, theatrical, and music scholars. Among the materials preserved in the Archive of the National Museum is an extensive collection of correspondence from dozens of notable figures in Czech — and, in some cases, international — culture and science. The article highlights two distinguished figures: František Petiška-Vinant, a physician, poet, prose writer, and actor with the Jára Cimrman Theatre, and academic painter Drahomíra Dvořáková, known for her distinctive illustrations and hundreds of portraits of prominent personalities.
