Editorial
Topic: Permanent preservation of traditional and
electronic documents
Concept of permanent preservation of
library collections of traditional and electronic documents in Czech
libraries until 2010
The concept originated through a development of an action line
contained in the Czech Libraries Development Framework for
2004–2010. It is based on the current Czech laws in the relevant
area and it follows the European trends, initiatives, and projects,
mainly the latest initiative i2010: Digital Libraries. The concept
foresees the period until 2010 as a maximally possible time span due
to the intense development of the digital technologies and our
chances to prepare a reliable forecast of the technical and
financial needs.

Special supplement
A recently discovered fragment of the Latin
translation of the Chronicle of the so-called Dalimil
The author deals in his contribution with the manuscript, which
has been recently acquired in Paris for the National Library of the
Czech Republic. He stresses on the utmost importance of this
extraordinary discovery. He describes this manuscript, compares its
Czech original with the Latin and German translations, presents the
parallels between its literary and artistic sides, as well as the
context in which the manuscript and its translation were created.
Finally, he gives an interpretation of the fragment in a wider
historical framework. He presents his opinion that the discovery of
the manuscript leads to the re-evaluation of the current and
entirely national apprehension of the Czech history and enables a
creation of a civil one.
