Abstract (croatian)

Istraživanje povijesti hrvatskoga iseljeništva danas je lakše zahvaljujući brojnim izvorima dostupnim na Internetu. Međutim, te izvore potrebno je vrednovati na ispravan način. U radu se daju primjeri relevantnih izvora iz Australije i Novoga Zelanda. Posebno se ističe uloga arhiva i knjižnica kao baštinskih ustanova zaduženih za čuvanje i davanje na korištenje dokumenata i publikacija za analizu globalnih migrantskih fenomena s višestoljetne vremenske okomice. Kao primjer projekta,čiji je jedan segment digitalizacija izvora povezanih s Hrvatima u svijetu, navodi se projekt Hrvatski iseljenički tisak koji se provodi pri Filozofskome fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Prikazujući 15 digitaliziranih publikacija, ističe se važnost međuinstitucijske suradnje tijekom procesa digitalizacije, od Nacionalne i sveučilišne knjižnice u Zagrebu do Središnje gradske knjižnice u Aucklandu, uz vješto umrežavanje izdavača i hrvatskih udruga u Lijepoj Našoj i izvan nje. Suradnja je bitna i za postizanje još jednog cilja – veće vidljivosti na Mreži u otvorenome pristupu digitalizirane građe s hrvatskim predznakom.

Abstract (english)

Researching the history of Croatian emigration is much easier today thanks to numerous sources available on the Internet. It is necessary to know how to find, evaluate and use these sources in the correct way. The paper gives examples of
relevant sources for the study of Croatian emigration using the example of Australia and New Zealand. The importance of archives and libraries as heritage institutions responsible for preserving and making available documents and publications important for emigrant history research is particularly emphasized. As an example of a project, one segment of which is the
digitization of sources related to Croats in the world, the Croatian Emigrant Press project, which is carried out at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Zagreb, is mentioned. The digitization process is explained and digitized publications (15 books and 6 newspapers) are shown. The importance of inter-institutional cooperation in carrying out the digitization process is emphasized - cooperation with the National and University Library in Zagreb, with the Central City Library in Auckland, with publishers and Croatian associations in Croatia and abroad. Cooperation is also important for achieving another goal of the project – that all digitized material be in open access, i.e., freely available to everyone. Digitization and open access to material related to emigrant Croats is an important step in preserving Croatian cultural heritage and maximizing its accessibility.

Abstract (spanish)

En la actualidad, investigar sobre la historia de la emigración croata es una tarea más fácil gracias a las numerosas fuentes disponibles en Internet, que hay que saber encontrar, evaluar y utilizar de manera correcta. En este texto se ofrecen ejemplos de fuentes relevantes para el estudio de la emigración croata utilizando como modelo a Australia y Nueva Zelanda, y se destaca la importancia del archivo y la biblioteca como instituciones patrimoniales responsables de preservar y poner a disposición documentos y publicaciones relevantes para la investigación de la historia de la emigración. Como ejemplo de un proyecto, uno de cuyos segmentos es la digitalización de fuentes relacionadas con los croatas
en el mundo, se menciona el Hrvatski iseljenički tisak, que se lleva a cabo en la Facultad de Filosofía de la Universidad de Zagreb. Se explica el proceso de digitalización y se muestran las publicaciones digitalizadas (quince libros y seis periódicos). Se destaca la importancia de la cooperación interinstitucional en la puesta en marcha del proceso de digitalización: la cooperación con la Biblioteca Nacional y Universitaria en Zagreb, con la Biblioteca Central de
la Ciudad de Auckland, con editores y asociaciones croatas, tanto en Croacia como en el extranjero. La cooperación es importante asimismo para logar otro objetivo del proyecto: que todo el material digitalizado sea de acceso abierto, es decir, que esté disponible gratuitamente para todos. La digitalización y el acceso abierto al material relacionado con los croatas de la emigración es un paso importante hacia la preservación del patrimonio cultural croata y la
maximización de su accesibilidad.
