DIGITIZATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE-LIBRARY IN THE FUNCTION OF MICROECONOMIC

Archive, library and museum material content and form are elements of identity, authenticity, tradition, continuity, uniqueness and authenticity, which determine them as national cultural heritage. This material also has a great information potential – the history and development of certain areas, localities, institutions and continuous activities over centuries can be traced back through the preserved material and the user can explore the past of the homeland locality. The cultural heritage of Vukovar is a reflection of the past that we see in the present and we are obliged to preserve it for future generations. Franciscan monasteries and libraries have managed to preserve the rich cultural heritage in spite of fires, war conflicts and devastation. Monastery libraries contain rare and old materials. Library materials are kept carefully in monastery libraries and are important for the future of Croatian culture and preservation of the Croatian written heritage. Physical preservation of the collection, as the history of collection has shown, depends on human engagement and conditions in which the collection is kept. As much as the humans protect it, at the same time, they destroy it by using it. Today's technology enables permanent preservation of materials in collections through the process of digitization. Digitization, once completed, enables using the materials in the collection infinitely without any risks to do harm to valuable units in the collection. At the same time, it enables finding information easily and is an inexhaustible source of knowledge of immeasurable historic value for the future generations. Taking all of the above said into account, we can conclude that cultural heritage digitization of the Franciscan monastery in Vukovar is a priority which will lead to completely different microeconomic characteristics of Vukovar and eventually be a Croatia’s cultural step towards European digital area.
