Summary: In the field of memory studies, literary texts serve as mediums for collective memory by selecting, reconstructing, and updating specific themes, images, and personalities. They contribute to forming our understanding of the past, transferring historical images, constructing memory relationships, and reflecting on collective memory processes and issues. Literature also creates collective images of past events, notable figures, interprets the present, and projects the future. To understand the symbolic significance of elements such as places of memory and figures of memory, reception processes and context play crucial roles. This theoretical framework guides the analysis of literary and literary-journalistic texts related to Slovak literary Romanticism representatives born in the 19th century, who played a significant role in the national revivalist movement and contribute to all three types of collective memory.

Summary: This article substantiates the principles of studying the graphic content of Dostoevsky's handwritten texts and creating an electronic catalog of graphic samples. The research material is Dostoevsky's workbooks, which include various types of entries. The analysis and systematization of handwriting features are productive in deciphering difficult readings and understanding the semantic context of Dostoevsky's recordings. The practical value lies in using the data obtained to study hard-to-read handwriting, illegible spellings, and analyzing non-verbal forms in Dostoevsky's graphics.
