DECENIJA BAŠTINE: OSNIVANJE MODERNIH BAŠTINSKIH USTANOVA U MOSTARU
A DECADE OF HERITAGE: FOUNDATION OF MODERN HERITAGE INSTITUTIONS IN MOSTAR

Summary/Abstract: The paper shows foundation and development of four main Mostar heritage institutions in the first ten years after the Second World War. This is the period in which the Mostar Public Library, Mostar Homeland Museum, Mostar City Archive and the Directorate for the Protection and Maintenance of Cultural and Natural Monuments were formed. The first decade after the end of the war was taken as the framework for writing the paper due to the fact that the initiative to establish the Mostar Public Library was launched in 1945, and the mid-50s of the 20th century represents the consolidation phase of these institutions. We believe that the mentioned period, due to difficult working conditions, staff issues, political circumstances, undefined status, but also the success achieved by these institutions, represents a specific period in their development.
