Printed a hundred years ago – digitalised today
An exhibition dedicated to a recently completed „Bibliography of the economy of Greater Poland in the years 1919-1939” by Hanna Maciejewska (no. SONB/SP/550684/2022) project.
The exhibition introduces the main objectives of the project and showcases the benefits of digitizing library collections. In the display cases we present materials – hardly ever brought out from the depository – printed at the beginning of the former century which, thanks to the project, have received a second life in the digital version. You will find books and journals covering the economy of our region in the interwar period.
The exhibits are accompanied by QR codes that will allow you to quickly find their scans in our repository.
