Research into Czech-Liechtenstein relations and the activities of the Liechtenstein family in what is now the Czech Republic has a long history. The members of the Liechtenstein-Czech Historical Commission can build on a long tradition of research. There is extensive specialist literature on this subject.

The Liechtenstein-Czech Historical Commission deals with the history of the Liechtenstein Princely House as well as the history of the Principality of Liechtenstein and the Czech lands. In recent years, literature on Liechtenstein has been created, particularly in Moravia, which is aimed not only at specialists but also at a wide audience. It shows the rich cultural heritage that Liechtenstein has left behind in Moravia in the form of castles, palaces, churches, estates and vineyards. In addition, there are significant research findings on both the Liechtenstein and Czech sides.

They are dealt with both in shorter works by individual authors (e.g. Lucia Dallabona, Ondřej Horák, Václav Horčička, Marek Vařeka) as well as in comprehensive works (e.g. David Beattie, Peter Geiger, Herbert Haupt, Tomáš Knoz, Rupert Quaderer, Thomas Winkelbauer, Jan Županič) on the mutual relations between the Czech Republic and Liechtenstein. The Liechtenstein-Czech Historical Commission could and can build its research work on these valuable foundations.
