On Tuesday, March 7, the first working meeting of seven institutions (National Museum, National Library of the Czech Republic, National Heritage Institute, National Library of Technology, Moravian Museum, Moravian Library, and the Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic) collaborating on a new project “Roots and Fruits of European Science in Czech, Moravian, and Silesian Historical Library Collections” took place. The project is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic within the National and Cultural Identity grant program.

During the summer, the Kozel Chateau in the Plzeň region will open the exhibition With Deepest Regards, which was produced under the NAKI project “Virtual reconstruction of sets of books”. Here visitors will find handwritten dedications from poets Rainer Maria Rilke and Christian Morgenstern, writers Mark Twain and Ladislav Vančura, and the first Czech Prime Minister Karel Kramář. The exhibition is supplemented with published catalogue.

Richard Šípek and Monika Veverková from the National Museum Library speak about the online form for cataloguing book owners, which allows for simple creation of entries in the Provenio database. https://www.facebook.com/Provenio.net/posts/180353450265251
