Matice česká

Matice česká was a Czech publishing house and cultural institution, similar to other Slavic Matice institutions.

It was an important milestone in Czech National Revival.

[1] It was established by František Palacký in 1831 at the National Museum and played an important role in preservation of the Czech language.

[2] Counterparts of Matice česká (Bohemia) in other Czech lands were Matice moravská (Moravia) and Matice slezská (Austrian Silesia).
