THE MEMORY OF SLOVAKIA
Protection and publishing of national historical documents is one of the priority programs of The Ministry of culture of Slovak republic. In 1996 The Department of state language and national written heritage (Sekcia štátneho jazyka a národného písomníctva) in partnership with University Library in Bratislava (ULB) initiated subsumption of the unique Bašagić collection of islamic manuscripts and old books to the Memory of the World Programme Register. At the same time the former minister of culture Ivan Hudec initiated a tentative of The Selected best works of Slovak literature for digitizing and publishing of these works via new medias and new networks. The first list of The Selected best works of Slovak literature was put together under the name of The Golden thread of Slovak literature (Zlatá niť slovenskej literatúry) in National literary center in february 1997. It contains 215 works ranging from Proglas and Nitra codex to the works of Žarnov and Sloboda. Along with classical scholar reading book writters and works (Bajza, Kollár, Hollý, štúrovci, Sládkovič, Hviezdoslav) can be seen many other works not known to the public on the list. Here belongs a collection of poems called Emblemata written by an important european humanist, native of Trnava, Ján Sambucus in 1564. What is extraordinary is the first book of Slovak grammar by Tobiáš Masník written in 1696 that was published as The report on Slovak writting (Správa písma slovenského...). In the selected collection can be found poems, prose or texts for theatre plays. These can be found in different forms and formats. Not all of the works are accessible at one place and in good condition, many of them exist in various different editions. Each chosen work requests distinctive approach and deep bibliographic processing. This specific work has been entrusted to the University Library in Bratislava (then named UKB-NKC), that has embodied it in its plans under the name of the Memory of Slovakia in 1998.

It introduces a selection of precious documents from historical book collections that are housed by the ULB. The historic collections are stored in the reconstructed (2003) historic building of former monastic society of Saint Clara (Claustrum monalium Sanctae Clarae) that is a part of the buildings of Multifunctional library and culture center in Bratislava.• University Library - The memory conservator
