The Digitalisation Centre was open in 2008 as a follow-on of a project on the preservation of our cultural and historical heritage and making it accessible to a wider circle of users. The Centre is equipped with an OMNISCAN 5000 TT book scanner of the German firm ZEUTSCHEL, in combination with a storage server. The digitalized volumes are archived and can easily be retrieved during search. Work in the centre is aimed at the solving of a number of theoretical and practical problems such as: • development of a procedure and best practices for scanning selected specimens of our scientific and cultural heritage; • development of a procedure for digital processing of scanned images with a view to improving their quality; • study on the factors that quarantee long-term preservation of information in the digital library; • establishment of connections with other libraries with a view to setting up a common network for presentation and preservation of our nationally significant scientific and cultural heritage.
