As part of the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of Croatian Television, HRT published a second amended and revised edition of the Lexicon of Radio and Television, and on its HRTi Multimedia Platform it marked the work and character of Nikša Fulgosi, the legendary screenwriter, editor and author of the first documentary television series on sex education Ljubavni jadi Pepeka Gumbasa i Marijete Buble [The Romantic Problems of Pepek Gumbas and Marijeta Buble]. The original series was only partially aired forty years ago.

For some time, commissions of experts working on behalf of the German Federal government proposed concepts for the design of a memorial site to house the facilities of the BStU. In June 2016, 25 years after the Law on Stasi Documentation had entered into force, the German Bundestag (Parliament) with votes from the CDU/CSU as well as the SPD voiced their support for changing the status of the BStU to that of a permanent institution within the Federal government. This decision ensured the continuation of further research into the history of the GDR on the basis of the sources already examined and processed as well as a roadmap for transferring the Stasi documentation archives into the network of Federal archives.

In 2016, Gordan Akrap published a book entitled Kardinal Stepinac u dokumentima Gestapo i OZN-e (Cardinal Stepinac in Gestapo and OZNA documents). On the basis of documents from the archives of several institutions, including those from the Croatian State Security Service Collection on Religious Communities, Akrap  shows how Cardinal Stepinac was presented in Yugoslavia and worldwide by the Gestapo and Yugoslavian security-intelligence services.

In 2016, Miroslav Svoboda obtained from Dušan Havlíček a complete collection of the Czechoslovak exile magazine “Listy”, which was published in Rome. The collection was privately owned by Dušan Havlíček, who decided to make it accessible only to scriptum.cz. It is a unique collection of the magazine, to the present day (after 1991 it was published in Prague, in 2003 the magazine was moved to Olomouc, where it was published by Burian and Tichak).

The Scriptum website is unique in that the collection of “Listy” writings had not been accessible at all, and cannot be found anywhere else in one place.

In 2016, curator Zsófia Szilágyi, as a part of the preparations for the exhibition opened later in that year, made twenty video interviews with the one-time authors, editors, as well as supporters of the prohibited journal “World in Move” (1975–1983)
The collection, with the edited versions of the interviews, was displayed during the entirety of the exhibition (November 2016–February 2017), and is still available for research at the archive of the Ferenczy Museum in Szentendre.
On the basis of the raw footage from the twenty individual video interviews, three thematic documentary films were edited:
1) Tiltakozz! Bojkottáld! Szólalj fel! (Protest! Boycott! Speak up!), 1 hour.
2) Klub - ankét - est - vita (Club meetings – evening talks – public debates), 1 hour, 7 mins.
3) A betiltott Mozgó Világ, 1975-1983 (The prohibited journal “Moving World,” 1975–1983), 1 hour, 40 mins.
All three films are in Hungarian with no dubbing or subtitles, and can be seen at the Ferenczy Museum’s website: https://mozgovilagfmc.tumblr.com/
