Abstract
The paper presents the results of the project “Croatian Cultural Heritage” which started in 2007 with the aim to improve the preservation of cultural heritage and increase its availability at both national and international levels. The project was developed within the National programme of digitisation of archival, library, and museum holdings. Local collections collect and preserve the aesthetic, documentary, historical, informational, and other values. Their digitisation increases their availability to the general public, encourages creativity, improves scientific research, but also stimulates economy since new services and new business opportunities are being created. Cultural institutions thus fulfill their role of being more open to the general public and contribute to building a more creative society which shares knowledge with the whole world. The project ended in 2009, its evaluation was performed and the results have been presented in this study.
