Digitization and Accessibility of Literary Sources from the ICL Library Collection

The main goal of this project is to involve the Institute of Czech Literature in the National Programme of Preservation Microfilming of and Digital Access to Documents Endangered by Acid Paper Degradation – Kramerius, and to ensure the protection of unique documents that are of high value to the professional, student, and lay public. The goal is not only to save the source base of the field of literary studies, but also to make it accessible in accordance with copyright law.

Stage 1 (2023)

Within the scope of the project, 15 unique typescript collections from the years 1978–1990 have been digitized. These anthologies were published primarily in connection with the jubilee anniversary of important Czech experts in the field of Czech studies, and represent, in their form and/or content, important documents from a historical, social, and professional point of view, whose loss or destruction would pose certain difficulties in the field of literary studies.

The project is being carried out within the framework of the subsidy procedure, announced annually, of VISK (Public Information Services of Libraries), subprogramme 7: National Programme of Preservation Microfilming of and Digital Access to Documents Endangered by Acid Paper Degradation – Kramerius.
