Digitization

Although digitization of publications is not the primary goal of this project, in cooperation with the National and University Library in Zagreb  digitization of selected publications is being carried out. The first publication was digitized in July 2020.  Some publications are out of the copyright, and the others are digitized with permission of copyright owner. Links to all publications are available in the following list – some links are to the Digital Collection of the National and University Library in Zagreb, some to other digital collections in New Zealand and Australia, and some links are to pdfs. Since May 2022, some of the digitized publications are available in the Croatian Emigrant Press Repository.

Collaboration with the National and University Library in Zagreb

Team members on the Croatian Emigrant Press project have made an agreement about collaboration with the National and University Library in Zagreb. The consent for the collaboration was signed by the Director General of the Library, professor Ivanka Stričević. Here is a part of the text of the agreement:

In accordance with its task of ensuring the complete Croatica Collection, the National and University Library in Zagreb agrees to collaborate with the Croatian Emigrant Press project in the digitization of material in accordance with all legal regulations and previously defined criteria for digitization. The library is ready to provide professional and technical assistance for establishing digital collection and permanent storage, as well as software for creating virtual exhibitions.

Vjesnik (The Herald)

Vjesnik (The Herald) is a monthly newspaper, published in Auckland from April to July 1946, mostly in Croatian language (there were a few short texts in English in each issue). Editor and publisher was Joseph Alach. Each issue had eight pages. According to the first issue, some of the Vjesnik‘s goals were to report independently on all events, to support the People’s Federative Republic of Yugoslavia and to connect all Slavs in New Zealand. At the end of the fourth issue, the editor explains the reasons why newspapers will no longer be published:  “large number of those who have harmed our unity”. The editor also announces a book that will “describe the work of our organizations and people”. It is unknown if the book has ever been published.
