Sažetak
The Croatian History Museum has collected materials for
its press clippings library for more than 60 years; today it
numbers about 2000 items, now available though a museum
documentation processing application. Items that relate to
events during the Homeland War are one of the special features
of the holdings, especially those related to the destruction
of cultural properties during that war. In work lasting
numbers of years it has been shown that the museum press
clippings library is a rich source of information for various
themes, which gave rise to the idea that the use of it should
be extended.
Bearing in mind the sensitivity of the material of paper and
its restricted accessibility, a process for digitising the whole
of the press clippings archives of the museum was started.
One of the basic objectives of the project was to make the
collection more accessible to a wider group of users, not
only for reading, but also for searching, within the text. The
paper shows how tools for digitisation and OCR are chosen
as well as implementation in an application for the computer
processing of secondary museum documentation. Listed are
the challenges that appeared during the project, and recommendations
that stemmed from them.
