Abstract: This study focuses on online Hungarian databases and resource groups which – in addi-tion to the source materials available in public collections [5] – allow us to search, view and download related primary and secondary sources for research purposes in the course of historical textbook research [15]. Among the databases reviewed, the Arcanum Digitheca [20] and the Hungaricana public collection portal [29] stand out. Two collec-tions of the latter database are definitely worth highlighting: the Collection of Decrees in Hungary [40] and the School Records [30]. The study will illustrate how online possibili-ties can expand education-related research through the example of sources from the era of Dualism. The focus, among others, is on the regulations, laws, curricula, documents of (educational) professional bodies, school records, textbook academic literature, and text-books of the period.
