Photographic material of Museum of Yugoslav History is consisted of photos, glass plate and

promoting the visual heritage of Yugoslavia. The project objectives are the development of infrastructure
for digitization, improving the methodology of processing, digitizing over 50,000 negatives, development
of a database and web portal for presentation of photo material from museum collections in cooperation
with Mathematical Institute SANU, organizing student practice at the museum in a collaboration with the
Center for museology and heritology at Faculty of Philosophy and Faculty of Media and
Communicationsat University of Belgrade, organization of workshops and exhibitions in a cooperation
with a partner on the project, data exchange with the portal Visual Archive Southeastern Europe (VASE)
