Sažetak
Pope Leon XIII on the Feast of "Slavic Apostles" St. Cyril and Methodius on 5 July 1881, by the Papal Bull named Ex hac augusta establishes the Vrhbosna Church Province, whose composition includes two dioceses, Banjaluka and Mostar-Duvno. Despite its founding, the Banja Luka Diocese did not immediately get its own bishop, but was officially bishopically governed by the Viennese nuncio. From 25 April 1882 until 25 April 1884, the diocese was entrusted to Josip Stadler, the Archbishop of Vrhbosna. Since its founding in 1881, the Banja Luka Diocese has had four apostolic trustees and three resident bishops, the last one of which is Msgr. Franjo Komarica The Archives of the Banja Luka Diocese are located in the Bishop's residence building. The archive contains the following documents: the transcripts of all the dioceses of the baptized, dead and married in the parishes of the Banja Luka Diocese, the older original registers of the parishes, the draft records of Banja Luka Diocese with all the accompanying documents and other important writings. The archives are entrusted to the service of a single priest, and the access to documents is limited by the required permission. The documents and correspondence recorded in the Draft Records are arranged annualy, but not all the documents are propeerly sorted, and some are missing. The Archives of the Banja Luka Diocese have so far been rarely investigated. It is partly due to the fact that it is managed by only one archivist, who has other duties as well. Therefore, the archive is in fact inaccessible to all who are not priests of the Banja Luka Diocese. However, the archive is well organized and quite easy to research. In the area of the Banja Luka Diocese there are also archives of the monasteries, which are also not entirely open to the public, but as such have managed to preserve very rare archival material. But this is largely a material source of ecclesiastical origin. Accordingly, the archives in question have valuable archival material inaccessible to the public, but also to the researchers. Since the development of technological solutions has made it possible to simplify archiving digitalisation, not only in technical but financial terms, we consider it to be of multiple benefit to launch the project of digitization of archival material of the Banja Luka Diocese. For this purpose, we propose the development of a digitization model of the aforementioned archive material based on the settings and principles of digitalisation of the heritage designed by Erich Reuhart and Marijana Tomić, and later implemented within the project named Digitalization, Bibliographic Processing and Research of the Texts of the Zadar-Šibenik Area from the Period up to the End of the 19th Century. Written in Glagolitic, Bosnian Cyrillic and Latin. Ultimately, in our work, we try to identify the possible challenges to be overcome in order to effectively and efficiently digitize the valuable archival material of the Banja Luka Diocese.
