An Interdisciplinary Approach to Medieval Croatian Glagolitic Heritage in the Digital World
Abstract
This article describes several projects of the Old Church Slavonic Institute in Zagreb that deal with Glagolitic heritage in the digital realm. The introduction is a short overview of Glagolitic literacy and its importance to understanding the Croatian Middle Ages. The essay presents two examples of the digital processing of liturgical manuscripts that were produced in the context of scholarly projects, and one example of such digital processing as part of a public-facing project.

The Old Church Slavonic Institute piloted a series of innovative and sustainable projects aiming at the promotion of both Glagolitic heritage and the Institute itself, with its 70 years of research of Croatian Glagolitic, to a broader, non-academic audience. Among the most noted projects are activities held during the Europeans researchers' night, virtual exhibitions (Missal of Prince Novak and Žgombić Miscellany), gamification of Glagolitic heritage and the design of educational videogames, the systematic use of social media for public engagement, as well as numerous activities conducted by the Scientific Centre of Excellence for Croatian glagolitism and the newly launched DigiSTIN project ("The Development of a model of digital infrastructure of the Old Church Slavonic Institute") [25,111]. The main goal of the DigiSTIN project is the development and redesign of the stin.hr. ...
Cultural heritage is the basis for sustainable development, key to biocultural diversity conservation, and an important factor to our long-term survival. Contemporary holistic approaches to heritage preservation emphasize the importance of the availability of cultural heritage and the active involvement and collaboration of relevant stakeholders. An important tool that enables this is communication. Glagolitic heritage is an important and representative part of Croatia’s cultural identity. It is also a unique and diverse cultural phenomenon encompassing a broad specter of tangible and intangible elements, and a wide variety stakeholder. Based on a comprehensive review of previous research in the field of Croatian Glagolitic studies, the aim of this chapter was to identify the key elements and scope of Glagolitic heritage. Additionally, an overview of contemporary communication practices has been provided, encompassing diverse forms of heritage interpretation, promotional, and educational activities. This review has established the diversity of practices and identified a wide range of stakeholders engaged in the process of Glagolitic heritage communication. The chapter concludes with recommendations for the implementation of a Delphi study aimed at systematizing and identifying key factors for promoting networking, collaboration, and participation among stakeholders, ensuring the preservation and long-term sustainability of Glagolitic heritage through the development of innovative forms of communication.
