On 26 May 2025, by way of a generous donation by Ms Marija Ora\u010d from Luxembourg, the National and University Library in Zagreb (NSK) received valuable items now making part of the Library\u2019s Map Collection<\/a> and Print Collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially valuable are the items which NSK has not held in its collections<\/a> so far, such as several 18th<\/sup>-century maps<\/a> of today\u2019s Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and one of Croatian traditional regions, Slavonia (Le Royaume de Hongrie<\/em> autora G. Valcka (Amsterdam, 1702); Principatus Transilvaniae In Suas Quasque Nationes earumque Sedes Et Regiones cum\u2026<\/em> by Johann Baptiste Homann (N\u00fcrnberg, c. 1730) and Royaume de Hongrie, principaut\u00e9 de Transilvanie, Sclavonie, Croatie et\u2026<\/em> by S. Robert de Vaugondy (Paris, 1752)). Also, the oldest donated item, a 1573 map by Augustin Hirsvogel (Schlavoniae, Croatiae, Carniae, Istriae, Bosniae finitimarumque regionum nova descriptio<\/em>), published as part of Abraham Ortelius\u2019s famous Theatrum orbis terrarium<\/em>, is another treasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A valuable record of Croatia\u2019s struggle for independence<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apart from a 1972 lavishly decorated bibliophile book marking the 400th<\/sup> anniversary of Croatia\u2019s Peasant Revolt (Kervave kronike glas<\/em>) featuring 20 prints by various prominent Croatian and Slovenian artists, standing out as particularly significant among the donated material added to the NSK Print Collection<\/a> is An Appeal for Peace in Croatia<\/em>, a priceless copy of a poster calling for putting an end to the aggression against Croatia in the 1990s which has been signed by 81 Nobel laureates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Croatian heritage safe in the hands of NSK’s professionals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All donated material has been well-preserved and it will now undergo basic conservation<\/a> treatment, along with the digital imagining procedure. Once catalogued, digitised and included in the Library\u2019s holdings<\/a>, all items will certainly make a significant contribution to CROATICA<\/a>, Croatia\u2019s national library collection which NSK curates as an integral part of Croatian cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSK expresses its deep gratitude to Ms Ora\u010d, for her efforts throughout the years to bring Croatia\u2019s history and culture closer to an international audience, and to the staff of the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in the Kingdom of Belgium, for their part in making Ms Ora\u010d\u2019s donation happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
