Dubrovnik Annals 1 (1997)

This document provides an overview of several academic papers and historical sources related to Dubrovnik (Ragusa), a maritime republic that existed from 1358 to 1808. The papers discuss topics like Dubrovnik's architecture, laws, demographics, relations with foreign powers, and literature inspired by sieges of the city. Several papers specifically examine Dubrovnik's historical and cultural connections to the Americas, including the earliest Croatians in South America and how the American Revolution impacted Dubrovnik's seafaring trade. The document also summarizes exhibitions and research on the Prevlaka Peninsula, a territory long disputed between Croatia and neighboring countries.
