Archives and the Digital Age in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Digitisation in the Czech Republic took on in the late twentieth and, more significantly, in the early twenty-first centuries, not only in the field of archives but of libraries too. A major role in this respect was played by regular conferences dedicated to the science of information and held annually at the National Archive. While the libraries focused, predominantly, on digitisation of precious manuscripts and old prints, and were supported in this by a grant programme subsidised by the Ministry of Culture Czech Republic (Manuscriptorium), the archives have focused mainly on digitisation of parish registers, which was done in various ways. Digitisation of other archival documents followed and these are now being made accessible to scholars through various web portals, including international ones. An important role in digitisation of documental material was played by the international organisation ICARus and its Monasterium programme. Besides digitisation it deals with archiving of electronic documents (digital-born), although the establishment of the National Digital Archive was accompanied by various problems. The training of suitable specialists to serve the digital age in the Czech Republic is no easy matter either, although even universities focus on it.
