Abstract

Karlovac public library possesses a valuable local heritage collection built from the collection of books of the Illyrian Reading Society from 1838. It covers the areas of the town of Karlovac and Karlovac county. The majority of the books in the older collection, mostly from the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, exist in only one copy. In order to preserve the library material and to provide its wider accessibility, the digitization of the originals was started in 2003. The paper gives a short review of the local heritage collection, reasons and goals, and describes the beginning and development of the process of digitization in the library.
