The area of Lika and Lovinac in the photographic cultural heritage library of the Croatian Ministry of Culture and Media

Abstract

The cultural heritage photo library of the Ministry of Culture and Media testifies to Lika, with its rich heritage depositing and recording tangible and intangible traces of continuous human presence in this area from the earliest times, being very attractive both to organized heritage safeguards and bystanders as well as researchers of broad profiles. The landscapes, monuments and people of Lika were the true focus of their intellect and an inexhaustible inspiration to their eye. Among them are photographer Vaso Margetić, archaeologist, museologist and conservator Josip Brunšmid, historian and archivist Emil Laszowski, young educator Ivan Rubčić and museologist and conservator Većeslav Heneberg.
