Summary/Abstract: The Croatian Memorial-Documentation Homeland War Center was founded by the Government of the Republic of Croatia in 2004. The Center is a public scientific institution and a specialized archive for Croatian Homeland War. It collects, arranges and protects all documentation and all data related to the Homeland War. The Center publishes books and other works based on its activities.Archivists work in two departments in the Center, one is a conventional archives department while other processing an unconventional materials.The records are kept in storage under specific microclimatic conditions depending on the type of material. Digitization of conventional materials is an imperative that is ahead, and the criteria of digitization will depend on the condition of the original document, its frequency of use and the importance of the document.Digitization of unconventional materials is done on a daily basis because of the speed of decay of analog media.Protecting documents against material decay as one of the results of the process of digitization is only the means; it's main goal is to make archival records accessible and thus permanent heritage for the future.
