Patrimonium (project)

The implementation of this project improves digital access to numerous Polish written sources offered in the highest quality[2].

The exceptional historical value of these collections and their important role in culture make them the core of the National Interlibrary Collection and, according to the regulation of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of July 4, 2012, they are subject of particular conservation protection.

[4] This number includes manuscripts, maps, sheet music, drawings and engravings, as well as books from the 19th and 20th centuries.

The largest group of the digitized items are periodicals and ephemera dating back to the 18th–20th c., often the only preserved copies.

[5][6] All the works digitized in the project belong to the public domain, so they can be used for academic, educational, artistic and commercial purposes without any limitations[2].
