Abstract
As is widely known, several years ago HAZU, CARNet, the College of Liberal Arts of the Society of Jesus, NSK, the Museum of Literature and Theatrical art of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the company
Novena finished the interdisciplinary scholarly project, The protection, digitalisation and popularisation of the legacy of Silvije Strahimir Kranjčević, whose results were presented at www. sskranjcevic.hr, which is the Þ rst systematic database devoted to
a Croatian literary author since it encompasses the poet’s entire manuscript legacy. The paper deals with the scholarly basis and
technological derivations formulated and implemented by the project starting out from the idea of technology in the service of interdisciplinary projects, as well as the orientation to make use of the new technologies not only in contributing to the accessibility and easier reference with respect to the heritage as never before, but also with the aim of taking the legacy to a new dimension, giving it
a new appearance for the 21st century. One of the basic ideas of the project, with respect to its pioneering characteristics, was the impetus to digitalise, in line with the presented scholarly and
technological methodology, the legacy of other authors. Today, four years later, we have begun the project “The digitalisation of the legacy of A. G. Matoš” in cooperation with the A. G. Matoš
Society Tovarnik as the initiator of the project. The paper offers answers to questions like those concerning the extent to which the time since the successful end of the Kranjčević project make the
technology even more suitable for the digitalisation of valuable legacies and whether scholarly propositions could be enhanced in such a way as to make the new project stand alongside the leading global trends in this Þ eld. Does this open the way towards the digitalisation of the legacies of all Croatian authors?
