Summary/Abstract: Placards represent material that we find in libraries, archives and museums. By analyzing collections of placards in these institutions, one can notice that they are treated differently. In some institution they are collected, inventoried and placed in stacks (archives and museums), while in National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina within Collection of Graphics, they are professionally processed according to existing standards. There are different methods for preservation of this material. Placards are valuable documents of our cultural heritage and we should treat them accordingly. Since digital preservation proved to be the best method for preservation of old material, we need to realize projects and collect resources in order to digitally preserve them. Exchange of this kind of material, between these institutions, would contribute and stock building.
