Abstract
The creation of the Croatian National Bibliography derives from the legal obligation and the unique role of the National and University Library in Zagreb. Croatian retrospective bibliography of books collects, evaluates, selects, analyzes and describes printed Croatian books on the basis of the language, national, territorial and subject principle from the beginning of the printing (1483) to the boundary with the current bibliography of books (1990). The books in the retrospective bibliography were gathered into multiannual volumes, starting from 1835 until 1990, along with the index of authors, titles, publishers and subjects. The index of publishers from the volume covering the period from 1900 to 1909 is the starting point for analysis of publishing and printing data for the first decade of the 20th century. The aim is to determine the number of publishers who worked in that period, scope and types of their publishing activities. In the second part of the paper, by linking the research on the history of publishing and work on the development of publishers' normative, the research will be presented on determining the unique form and variant forms of publisher names used in the normative database of digital library publishers. In determining the unique form, the national form of the name is preferred, which is why books and articles on the history of books, printing and publishing will be used as sources.
