Digitalisation projects

The Bukowina-Institut has set itself the aim of safeguarding, preserving and making accessible archival collections – such as postcards and historical documents like newspapers – for future generations. In recent years, with the help of our partners and sponsors, we have been able to make a significant contribution towards this aim. We intend to continue driving forward further digitisation projects in the future.
