Jonas Jablonskis, prof. Antanas Kriščiukaitis, prof. Petras Leonas, prelate prof. Jonas Mačiulis-Maironis, teacher Pranas Mašiotas, prof. Povilas Matulionis [lt], priest Juozas Tumas-Vaižgantas, and prof. Eduards Volters – discussed the need for a publication where they could share their memoirs and publish other material related to the Lithuanian National Revival and the Lithuanian press ban.

The second meeting on 20 January was attended by more intellectuals, including Kazimieras Būga, Sofija Čiurlionienė, Petras Klimas.

[3] It published articles on various topics (including a few on subjects such as archaeology or numismatics) and primary material for future studies (such as correspondence, memoirs, diaries, documents).

One such review by Augustinas Voldemaras of books by priest Antanas Alekna [lt] resulted in a polemic discussion that highlighted differences between more liberal intelligentsia and more conservative Christian clergy.

For example, memoirs of priest Anupras Jasevičius [lt], who was exiled to Siberia for supporting the January Uprising, were published in sections in all five volumes.
