This paper presents data on the connections between two historians, Hamdija Kreševljaković from Sarajevo and Ferdo Šišić from Zagreb. Relying on original material, primarily the letters that Kreševljaković sent to Šišić, we can assume that the first contacts between them were made in 1913 or possibly a few years earlier, and that over time they intensified, and lasted until Šišić's death in 1940. Their relationship is observed through three segments: academic work, concern for a common friend, and the election of Hamdija Kreševljaković as a corresponding member of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb, with the aim of illustrating one of the ways in which cooperation between intellectuals in the South Slavic regions functioned in the first half of the 20th century.
