Abstract

With the advent of the fast-developing information and communication technology (ICT) and ever-demanding users, these different, but related professions realized that the task of preserving and communicating world heritage surpasses their institutional boundaries and that their mission will be better accomplished if they cooperate with other institutions within and outside the sector. Using qualitative and quantitative research methodologies (online questionnaires, in-depth interviews and original-material analysis) cooperative activities and experiences of Croatian cultural heritage institutions are critically evaluated, benefits and barriers of collaborative projects are analyzed and the support of relevant government bodies and institutions is explored. The results of this research can certainly help the professionals in cultural heritage to understand, plan, implement and evaluate cooperative projects. Also, results can help relevant authorized institutions, which are often their main sources of funding, create their support for truly cooperative activities of Croatian cultural heritage institutions, just as it was envisioned in the developmental strategy of the Croatian cultural sector.
