Abstract

In the proposed presentation we intend to introduce to the Romani studies scholars some new discovered documents and early publications, revealing unknown and scholarly unexplored till now facts about early history of Roma movement and religious movement, such as the “the “Statute of the Coptic (i.e.Roma) nationality in Vidin” from 1910; Statute of the “Sofia Pan-Muslim Educational-Cultural Organizations for Mutual Support Istikbal (‘Future’)” from 1919; the first (and the only one) issue of a newspaper“Svetilnik” (‘Candlestick’) published by the Evangelical Baptist Mission among Gypsies in Bulgaria from 1927 in city of Lom and the Statute of the “United Common Educational and Cultural Organizations of Gypsy Minorities in Bulgaria Ekhipe (‘Unity’)” from 1946. On base of these archival documents, as well as through attracting other historical sources (press publication, other archival documents, oral histories, photographs from personal archives, etc.)will be presented the first Roma public organisations, first detached Roma churches and first Roma newspapers in Bulgaria from the first half of 20th century.
