Résumé

The Lunjina Serbian Aromanian Society was founded in Belgrade in 1991, and in the period from 1999 to 2010 it published a bulletin called Lunjina, whose initiator and editor-in-chief was Professor Dr. Pribislav Marinković. The Society's ongoing goal is to preserve the Aromanian identity by nurturing its history, language, culture, and tradition.As the Aromanian people have resided in the Balkan Peninsula for centuries, preserving their unique identity and protecting their artistic and intangible heritage from assimilation is essential.The magazine published titles and photographs depicting Aromanian life in the 19th and 20th centuries. It highlighted their role in developing Serbian culture, their unique approach to education, and their contributions to society and science.The digitization of archival materials on Aromanians in Belgrade and Serbia allows the public, especially younger generations, to learn about their presence in our region. This project brings to light crucial historical facts, safeguarding them from oblivion. Thedigitization project encompasses the magazine itself, the preparation of key terms for easier reading, and uploading to the Rastko platform and other digital media.
