Summary/Abstract: Digital collection "Tracing the written heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina" is the practical part of my master's thesis in librarianship entitled "Application of new technologies in the reconstruction of cultural heritage and identity of Bosnia and Herzegovina." As a librarian, I had a goal to gather in one place as much information and illustration of the Bosnian medieval manuscripts, to try to reconstruct a digital collection of which only one manuscript is kept in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while the rest are located throughout Europe, the various libraries and museums. Following Benjamin assembly technology, the information collected about 28 manuscripts of medieval Bosnia itself installed in a multimedia structure of existing social networks: Facebook, Google Group, Picasa album, Slide Share and Blogger. With links I connected all multimedia objects to each other: the data in tables, text as a short story, illustrations and graphics, presentations and short posts on the Facebook Web and Blog.
