Sažetak
This paper demonstrates the importance of cultural heritage digitization projects with special emphasis on the digitization of the writer's/literary legacies. Digital humanities as a young scientific discipline is key in the process of creating such projects. The goal is to make specific objects more accessible to users through an interdisciplinary approach, involving experts from different areas through projects and applying new technologies. When accessing websites, researchers and scientists of digital humanities require a clear site layout, as well as technical support in order to quickly obtain necessary information. The heuristic evaluation method according to Nielsen's ten principles was used to conduct an analysis of websites on a sample of four projects (two in Croatia and two foreign projects). The objective was to determine how the websites of the selected projects meet Nielsen's ten principles and how well are their interfaces suited to the needs of users based on the obtained results. The objective was also to determine whether there is a difference between Croatian and foreign projects. The purpose is to point at a better understanding of such projects, their relevance for researchers and the wider community, as well as the possible improvement of the availability of information objects in a network environment. In the discussion of the obtained results, it was determined that all four websites were suited to user needs and that the above principles were met in most cases. By analysing Croatian and foreign projects, it was found that there is still room for improvement and applying new technologies in the context of digital humanities in Croatian projects.
