National Library of the Czech Republic, Czech Republic

List of institutions

Czech Republic has a long tradition in digitization and web harvesting. National Library of the Czech Republic was awarded the first UNESCO/Jikji Memory of the World Prize for its contribution to the preservation and accessibility of its documentary heritage in 2005. Thanks to large national grant projects, our digitization projects including endangered books and periodicals and historical manuscripts started in the early ‘90s. We started with harvesting and archiving of Czech web resources in 2000. We have several million digitized pages and about 50 million archived web documents (about 30 TB together) covering the core of the national cultural heritage. These documents are accessible via the three national subsystems, Manuscriptorium, Kramerius and WebArchiv, covered by the Czech National Digital Library.
