The digitization of Cultural Heritage assumes an interdisciplinary approach, collaborative knowledge co-creation, and distant communication. This can only be fulfilled by ICT means requiring in turn alignment between those who deliver the technical (IT) support and those who are in the role users. A Service-Oriented approach is considered adequate in this regard because of users’ composing services at high level (with underlying technical complexity remaining hidden) and developers’ considering the software components whose functionality is delivered through the services. All this requires however complex regulations to conform with. Semiotic norms in combination with workflows are considered in this regard. In this paper, we propose an approach based on Service-Oriented Computing and Organizational Semiotics, directed to Cultural Heritage digitization. The approach is partially illustrated by means of an example.

It is important to use wisely the opportunities that technology offers us. This is important in relation to education, Polish national heritage and broader culture. Often we can visit a specific place or participate in cultural life without even leaving our own home. This article is an analysis of the impact of modern technology how it helps us to protect and promote our national heritage.

The purpose of this article is to describe the phenomenon of utility books for children and youth in the second half of the 19th century, based on “Bibliografia polska XIX stulecia” by Karol Estreicher. Twenty five tomes were reviewed, with the relevant materials divided into three sections: “games and plays”, “teaching good behaviour”, “home readings”. Each section was further divided typologically, allowing for a thorough analysis of editions and determining elements that were typical, repeatable or unconventional in form and content. The kind of function the genre fulfilled was determined, along with the form in which it was published and the ideas it conveyed. The dynamics of publishing production development of these publications over the relevant 50 years was analysed, covering both the phenomenon as a whole and individual genres. Statistical problems of publishers and printing offices and the changes in format and artwork were also presented.

Reading has been deeply rooted in Polish tradition and culture. Among the most-popular reading practices of the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century were community readings and oral readings. The oral readings were common for all social class families, and they were a popular method of contact with literature. The community readings integrated participants and enabled individuals to share their impressions with others. Unlike the community readings, silent readings were private and intimate. In the art from this period, we find pictorial representations of different literary activities. Late 19th century and early 20th century paintings portray young readers, engaged both in community and individual readings. Iconography proves an important place of books in the lives of teenage boys and girls, and is a source which complements the documentation of readership in the written sources.

The article is focused on the Images of Saints in one Cyrillic old printed book edited in Rome by the catholic bishop Philip Stanislavov for Bulgarian people. There are interesting sequences of images found there for the first time. They form different cycles – a catholic Rosary of the Virgin (saints and their feasts in May) and All Year Folk Calendar with its beginning also in May. It should be noticed that there is also one other Year Calendar, based on the Gregorian one and constructed according to the Bulgarian folklore perception. The content of the article is built upon the dichotomy between text and image. In that context some of the engravings have been analyzed semantically, to discover the relation between Abagar and Bulgarian Folklore provided with the mediation of hagiography, South Slav's apocryphal tradition and also with universal symbols.

The article examines the main stages in digitization and best practices of effective use of archival collections in various institutions in Bulgaria. Firstly the digital collections of archival documents in the Bulgarian archives and libraries are presented and then their importance to various studies of local history and genealogy in scientific and amateur aspects being outlined. Number of collections have been analyzed – the collections of the Archives State Agency and especially its regional archival structures; the collections of the National Library "St. St. Cyril and Methodius", which is an important archive center for documents from the Bulgarian revival; collections of regional libraries and the collection of NALIS foundation since it is an unifier of the university network of libraries. Particular attention is paid to the access to these collections. As a second stage of digitization of documents is alleged the participation of archives and libraries in initiatives and projects for the migration of metadata for digitized objects to other portals and digital libraries, thereby providing various opportunities for access to the same digital object. In the current article are presented mostly initiatives of regional libraries in this direction. The main focus in the third stage of digitization is not on the selection and scanning of documents, and providing access to them, but on defining the different approaches of sharing and enriching the digital information, e.g. in social networks. Special attention is paid to initiatives of libraries for digital content reuse as well as for the wider involvement of citizens in projects related to enrichment and popularization of digital information pertaining to local and family history.
