Časopis Mostovi : digitalna transformacija i dostupnost kulturnog nasleđa

The magazine Mostovi (Bridges) was launched by the Inter-Republican Community for Cultural and Educational Activities. The Inter-Republican Community was founded in 1962 as a depiction of the immediate cultural needs of artists from the border area between Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. Over the course of time, the Community consisted of about twenty municipalities, and its mission was cultural connection, affirmation, and development of the cultural and artistic world of that area. The launch of the magazine Mostovi (imprint of the magazine: culture, art, social life) has an exceptional cultural importance. The first issue of the magazine was published in 1969, and the last one, no. 179/180, in 2007. At the beginning of the nineties, the area where the magazine was created and for which it was launched fell apart. The Inter-Republican Community was disintegrated and extinguished, which made it challenging to publish the magazine. With the disappearance of its founder, the magazine was in danger to not be preserved as a whole (all issues), including all the values and the impressive content. About 2,200 authors of this area are represented in 180 issues in total, which were printed on over 18,000 pages. As a cultural institution, we have appreciated the value of the contents of the magazine and treasured it as a written cultural heritage of a wide geographical and the magazine, we performed its digitization. The focus of this paper is the digitization and cultural value of the magazine Mostovi.
