Abstract: The article is an attempt to look at Czech scholars dealing with Poland and Polish-Czech issues through their resting places. The analysis was based on the graves of eighteen people buried in cemeteries in Prague, Brno and Pilsen. Among them are researchers of various generations, living during the Habsburg Monarchy and in Czechoslovakia (before and after the Second World War), historians and literary scholars associated with Prague and other Czech centers (František Ladislav Čelakovský, Josef Dobrovský, Václav Hanka, Karel Krejčí, Jan Evangelista Purkyně, Marian Szyjkowski, Václav Vondrák, František Alexandr Zach etc.). The authors try to answer how graves of these people speak to the historian and whether they can be used as a historical source. What is the research value of funerary monuments and inscriptions texts?
