Abstract

This paper deals with the cultural, historical and local values of minor publications of the City Museum of Vukovar, revealing their information, communication and promotion roles which they performed at the time when other media were scarce. Assuming that these minor publications are important historical sources, constituting a significant part of the local heritage, we propose three ways of presenting these materials to the wider social and scientific community: organizing thematic exhibitions, compiling bibliographies, and building digital collections. For the purpose of this paper the most interesting and representative pieces have been selected, those that best illustrate the great documentary value of this sort of materials and their significance as an integral part of the local heritage of the city of Vukovar and the surrounding area.
