Summary/Abstract: Books and periodicals published during the First World War are expressive witnesses of heroism and suffering of our people, of the patriotism and the vitality, of the victims and the superhuman efforts in fighting for freedom. Publications dedicated to the small Serbian nation, whose heroism was admired not only by friends but also by foes, were published in Serbian language, as well as in major world languages across Europe, North and South America and Africa. The data on books and periodicals published in Corfu, Thessaloniki and in Bizerte were collected, written materials bibliographically described and systematized and will soon be published in a book under the title Публикације објављене током Првог светског рата на Крфу, у Солуну и Бизерти: библиографија (Publications published during the World War I in Corfu, Thessaloniki and in Bizerte: a bibliography). In this article the author of the bibliography presents the results of the research that resulted in a detailed list of over 300 monographs and 16 periodicals. In addition of the bibliographic corpus, the book contains an extensive preface, introductory bibliographic notes and indexes, which provide a comprehensive insight into our government, military, political, cultural and educational activities in the Great War.
