Summary/Abstract: Bosniak and Croatian culture are multiply interconnected in different areas, including the area of cultural heritage, and, consequentially, in certain periods of time these ties and relations have been of crucial importance for both of these cultures. This was the instance especially after the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia in 1878 when Bosnia, after over four centuries of Ottoman administration, has been reinstalled in the modern Western European culture and civilization, leaving behind its previous Oriental-Islamic context as its primary and crucially setting cultural and historical framework.The aim of the paper is to shed light on the processes of the pro-European acculturalization of Bosnia in which one of the key roles was assigned precisely to the Croatian culture as the first neighboring culture to Bosnia of the Western-European type. Exceptionally important traces of these cultural ties and relations have been preserves in the Bosniak journal production in the late 19th and the early 20th century, including the most significant Bosniak literary and cultural journal of the age entitled Behar (1900–1911), which also included texts of Croatian authors of the age. Among other things, the content of the paper provides concrete examples of the role of Croatian authors in poetry, prose and translation in Behar, shedding light on the Bosniak – Croatian ties and relations in the late 19th and the early 20th century, all in the context of the epistemological framework of digital humanities, pointing simultaneously to new possibilities of studying both the history of literacy and the history of literature, i.e. the literary journals as a part of the (inter)cultural heritage.
