About project

Tarnow Digital Library (TDL) was created in 2010 as the project of the Julius Slovacki Municipal Public Library in Tarnow, co-funded by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage within the framework of  “Digital Resources. Priority 1: Digitisation of library materials”.

 

The main purpose of the project is a long-term preservation, conservation, archiving and promotion of national and local cultural heritage by the digitisation and making regional history collection available for users via Internet, including old prints and periodicals, books and ephemeral prints.

 

The Municipal Public Library in Tarnow possesses a valuable collection of Polish and foreign old prints from 16th to 18th centuries. There is also an interesting group of manuscripts and miscellany from 19th and 20th centuries with the unique correspondence (e.g. of Zygmunt Krasiński with Izabela Sanguszko from 1846-1851, letters of generals of the November Uprising of 1830-31 – Józef Chłopicki, Jan Skrzynecki), 18th and 19th centuries cartography, musical prints of 18th -  20th centuries, the Sanguszkos’ genealogical tables from 19th and 19th centuries, 19th century books (from libraries formerly belonging to the manors) and regional collections of a great interest.

 

Particularly noteworthy is the rich collection of valuable materials concerning the Tarnow region, which are highly sought after. The Tarnow Digital Library is systematically expanded with new resources, not only from the own collections of the Municipal Public Library in Tarnow but also donated by other institutions and private individuals.

 

On September 21, 2010, TDL joined the Federation of Digital Libraries.

 

Since February 1, 2011, TDL's resources have been available on the Europeana portal.

 

All cultural, scientific, educational institutions, information centers, as well as private individuals interested in making their resources available on the internet, can join the project.
