Croatian Digital Web Archive From project to service of the National and University Library in Zagreb
For this reason, NUL began experimenting with cataloguing Web publications as early as 1998. However, the processed publications were not archived, therefore, they could only be accessed at their original address.
In order to set up a tool for capturing and archiving online contents, the National and University Library and the University Computing Center (SRCE) in Zagreb launched a project Design of the System for Harvesting and Archiving
Legal Depost of Croatin Web publication on November 1, 2003. The objective was to establish a tool for harvesting and archiving the deposit copy of Croatian publications on the Internet while preserving, to the largest measure possible, the original contents, formats and functionalities, in order to ensure access and use in the future.
The digital archive is based on the concept of selective collection of static and dynamic Web publications in interaction with the NUL’s WebPAC. Each Web resource is fully catalogued and thus retrievable in the NUL’s catalogue. The Digital Archive is fully integrated with the libraray information system and is running as a service since January 2004.
