FOTOTEKA
PHOTO LIBRARY

Summary/Abstract: In addition to its thematic collections, the Sarajevo Museum also has its own photo library. At the time it was founded, in 1949, the Museum’s modest museum holdings included a small photo library. Over the next few years much effort went into collecting material, including a considerable number of photographs. Some of these photographs, many of which dated from before the Museum was founded, were acquired by purchase and cooperation with other cultural institutions or individuals who made their negatives, duplicates or original photographs available. The photo library now has 9,037 inventory items with more than 20,000 photographs, ranging from photographs of everyday life to those of a variety of buildings and cultural and historic monuments.
