Honoured visitors,
The DBSR (Digitalna biblioteka Srba u Rumuniji - The Digital Library of Serbs in Romania) project was initiated with the intention of saving from destruction (and implicitly from oblivion) rare and unaccessible copies of old books, magazines and newspapers in Serbian language printed on the territory of today's Romania.
The first step in this direction was made by the Timișoara Organisation of the Union of Serbs in Romania by digitising the collections of Serbian newspapers from the fund of the Serbian Library "Dimitrije Tirol" in Timișoara. Premises were thus created in order to form the fund of a new virtual library from the newly created electronic copies, which would be - along subsequently digitised files, as well as contemporary editions of the Union of Serbs in Romania - made publicly available, via this site.
We wish that every visit to the site of The Digital Library of Serbs in Romania brings you new and interesting information about the past and the present of the Serbs living on the territory of today's Romania!
