Matice česká
![Map of Balkans by [[Pavel Josef Šafařík](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Pavel_Shafarik_1842_map_-_Balkans.jpg)
It was established by František Palacký in 1831 at the National Museum and played an important role in preservation of the Czech language.
Counterparts of ''Matice česká'' (Bohemia) in other Czech lands were ''Matice moravská'' (Moravia) and ''Matice slezská'' (Austrian Silesia).
