Title: Digitization of Old Postcards of the City of Niš
The digitization of old postcards of the City of Niš has great cultural and historical significance because it allows us to look into the past of this city and see its development over time. This initiative not only preserves these valuable visual documents from being forgotten, but also enables the general public to access valuable information about the urban, social and cultural development of Niš. This paper presents the processes of digitization of old postcards of the City of Niš, which are located in the Department of Native and Special Funds of the National Library “Stevan Sremac”. The collection of this very interesting visual material, which is under the roof of the Library, is described and the importance of its preservation and protection is indicated. The digitization of old postcards represents a significant step in preserving the cultural heritage of cities, and Niš, one of the oldest cities in the Balkans, is no exception. Postcards, as visual records of past times, provide an insight into the history, architecture and social life of the city. The process of digitizing these artifacts not only preserves their physical form from decay, but also allows a wider audience to access this precious material.
