The paper provides an overview of the process of systematisation and digitisation of the hemerotheque collection at the Ethnographic Museum, with an emphasis on understanding of the concept of hemerotheque over one hundred years of operations of the Museum. The introductory part provides a presentation of the hemerotheque within the theoretical and legislative framework based on which the work on the paper started in 2019. Furthermore, the text provides insights that preceded the current state of affairs of the hemerotheque, which includes an analysis of the collection and the policy of collection of hemerotheque materials. In addition to the digitisation process implemented thus far and processing of the hemerotheque materials, the paper also addresses contemporary practices.
