Can we find 100 new documents mentioning us Macedonians?

[Daskalot]

I have a little challenge for all our members, can we find 100 new documents mentioning us Macedonians that thus far have not been published on the MTO?
The documents need to relate to Macedonian matters, ie to Macedonia, Macedonian and Macedonians. And remember it must have a source reference.
It can be newspaper articles, maps, official documents, immigration records, books, studies etc etc.
All 100 new documents will be collected in this thread.
Who will be the first to post a new document?
How many days will it take to find and post 100 new documents?

I have a few pictures I took of a few old maps and books in the Australian National lirbary the oldest being about 600 years. I can't remember the books I took them out of but I will post the images when I have time.

[Daskalot]

Great, post them here. We can surely find the book once we have the maps as reference.

I'm sorry i don't know the title of the book, if anyone does, i'd appreciate it if you let me know

Thank you for our first source Sekirani, I have added the source to your finding.

[Sekirani]

[Pelister]

Good initiative Daskalot. I'll keep an eye out for anything I can find.

Nice find Lavce, and thank you Makedonska Iskra for providing it.
It looks like it is signed by Krste Misirkov, he is no Russian he is Macedonian
Do you have a translation of it?

[lavce pelagonski]

No but I'll try and find one

Daskale, I like this thread/challenge. Now I am not sure, but I don't think I have seen the following on MTO or anywhere else:

“And not only by its insane inhumanitarianism has the Greek dictatorship imitated its German and Italian models. It already has developed its own particular brand of chauvinism. If Greece has no Jewish problem, she has the Macedonians. In the name of “Hellenization” these people are being persecuted continually and arrested for the most fantastic reasons. Metaxas’s way of inculcating the proper nationalist spirit among them has been to change all the native place-names into Greek and to forbid the use of the native language. For displaying the slightest resistance to this edict – for this too is a danger to the security of the state – peasants and villagers have been exiled without trial. Indeed, there are very few political prisoners, whether Macedonians or Greeks, who have been formally charged with any crime. In the eyes of Fascists everywhere respect for laws and justice is a disease of Liberalism; so it is in Greece.”

This was written by an Australian author who travelled through Greece in the 1930’s. The book is entitled “Exiles in the Aegean”, the author’s name is Bert Birtles and the book was published in London 1938 by Victor Gollancz LTD. The quote can be found on pp. 387-388 of the book,

Daskale, does this make the grade? If it doesn't, please just delete it.

I am going to be a good sport and add 25 new findings.
Enjoy!
