Description:
The objectives of the project are determined in accordance with the global objective no. 2 (Cultural Heritage) of the program NAKI II, and specific objectives 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. Within the project will be developed tools for protection, identification and presentation of the cultural heritage of the Benedictine order in the Czech Republic, which is represented especially by monasteries in Broumov and Rajhrad. Attention is paid to libraries of both monasteries. The research is focused on both - own book collections of Broumov and Rajhrad monasteries, as well as on the space and equipment of libraries. Within the project will be developed: 1. Preservation procedure for the protection and care of library collections of monastic libraries, 2. Methodology for care of space, facilities and equipment of Baroque interior libraries, which both of the above mentioned libraries adequately represent. The special result of the project designated for the presentation will be the database of typographical elements of the book block and special software for usage of the database. Both will create a platform for further editing, analytical and comparative work with books. The cultural heritage of both monasteries will be presented to the general and scientific public by making the collections available and by other presentation activities: exhibitions, video document, scientific books, studies in peer-reviewed journals and anthologies. At the same time steps will be taken to rescue the book heritage especially of the Broumov monastery. We plan to restore the rarest and most vulnerable books. The content of the book collections will be presented in the form of user-friendly specialized maps.
