History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Making a significant part of special holdings included in CROATICA<\/a>, Croatia\u2019s national collection preserved and managed by the Library, the Collection was established based on resources collected from all continents since 1945 and formerly included in the so-called Croatian Emigrant Publications Collection (Zbirka iseljeni\u010dkoga tiska<\/em>), which had started operating in 1988 and had never been established as one of the Library\u2019s formal organisational units owing to political factors in former Yugoslavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
