Works of Prague Jewish writers and composers of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries owned by the Prague Municipal Library will be available in digital form thanks to a project covered from European subsidies, the library’s spokeswoman Lenka Hanzlikova has told CTK.
The digitisation of 223,000 pages of literary and musical works will cost 8.5 million crowns.
