Summary/Abstract: The Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Spirit has a valuable collection of books, maps, cartographic materials and other historical documents, collected and preserved during the 650 years of its existence. The treasure in books was catalogued and presented to the public, while maps and cartographic material were never recorded. Therefore, the University of Sarajevo, Faculty of Civil Engineering – Department of Geodesy proposed to the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Fojnica a research project entitled “Inventory of cartographic material”, which involved the formation of a database to record maps and cartographic material. Such a database enables a clear search of data on maps and cartographic material. The Prior of the Monastery accepted the proposed Project, and gave the researchers access to a part of the maps and cartographic materials that they keep in their archive and museum. The project was successfully realized, a database was created which was used to print the “Catalogue of maps and cartographic materials of the monastery of the ‘Holy Spirit’ in Fojnica.” This article describes in detail the process of modelling a database for recording maps and cartographic material of the monastery Holy Spirit in Fojnica.
