Summary/Abstract: The advanced technological environment of the modern age opens a completely new perspective of business, research, education and publishing, based on a paradigm shift based on digitalization. Speaking of digitalization, the aim of this paper is to present the process of digitalization of the journal Prilozi issued by the Institute of History of the University of Sarajevo. The process and stages of digitalization of the journal Prilozi from its traditional printed to digital form are described retrospectively. All issues of the journal Prilozi were digitized by scanning, and a digital archive was created available on the institute’s website. The digital archive is based on a reference model called the Open Archival Information System (OAIS). The paper presents how digital archiving enables technologically modern, secure and free access to the journal. In this way, journal’s complete communication with the scientific, professional and general public was created. Process of digitalization ultimately achieved the global availability of the journal. It is understood that the primary protection and permanent preservation of journals and historical sources in the digital environment has been achieved. In addition, better possibilities for working with digitalized text have been created: easier searching, copying and quoting while sending the rights of authors and publishers. The paper points out the needs of the digital society for digitalization, and it is assumed that this paper will serve to design strategies for improving the publishing of public scientific and cultural institutions through digitalization.
