U radu se prikazuje sadržaj rukopisa Carmina (prijepis iz 1804) dubrovačkog latinskog pjesnika Džona Rastića (1755–1814) koji se čuva u Znanstvenoj knjižnici Dubrovniku pod signaturom Rkp. 193 te se ...uspoređuje s tiskanim izdanjem Rastićevih pjesama iz 1816. koje je priredio F. M. Appendini. Utvrđeno je da rukopis sadrži jednu dosad nepoznatu karikaturu autora, kao i da ima značajnih razlika u popisu objavljenih pjesama između tiskane i rukopisne inačice djela. Također se daje osvrt na povijest Dubrovačkih knjižnica i Zbirku rukopisa, kao i na načine obrade rukopisne građe koji su na raspolaganju knjižničarima katalogizatorima danas, u skladu s međunarodnim i lokalnim standardima i smjernicama, za razliku od 1950-tih kad je Zbirka rukopisa prvi put popisana.

Purpose. The aim of the paper is to describe the activities undertaken by Dubrovnik Libraries during and after the Croatian War of Independence to preserve their heritage collections. The intention ...is also to present plans for possible future challenges as well as to compare the conditions, resources and equipment available in the 1990s and in the present. Approach/methodology. The paper shows the degree of damage to the Library collections through an in situ case study, the basic data on how evacuation was approached, the organisation of work in crisis conditions, the storage of collections during the war period and then the relocation to the new building. The paper was based on primary sources, including first-hand accounts by the former Library Director Mrs Urban and interviews with older or retired librarians, and secondary sources such as the official report by a paper conservationist who conducted the inspection of damaged library materials in situ, newspaper articles, books, periodicals, doctoral thesis, emergency plan and measures etc. The research for this paper also enabled cooperation between librarians and conservators, as well as finding,scanning and archiving valuable historic library documents, which will be, as a result, available to any future researchers and for posterity. Findings. The paper presents a valuable experience of how endangered cultural heritage was protected in the past and offers contemporary insights into improving the methods of storing, preventive protection and transporting books and archive materials. To avoid previous mistakes, Dubrovnik Libraries developed the crisis response plan with emergency measures in 2020, while in the previous years numerous new resources and equipment had been put into place. Value. The paper gives an overview of a thirty-year long process of caring for heritage collections and it presents perspectives from both librarians and conservators. It outlines the way new resources – human, financial and technological – were used after the war to repair the damage and prevent anything similar from occurring in the future. Hopefully, this paper will raise awareness among cultural institutions and serve as a valuable aid in the practice of crisis management as well as preventive care.

Cilj. Cilj rada je prikazati aktivnosti koje su Dubrovačke knjižnice poduzele za vrijeme i nakon Domovinskog rata kako bi zaštitile svoje baštinske zbirke. Drugi je cilj iznijeti planove u slučaju ...budućih nepogoda, kao i usporediti uvjete, resurse i opremu dostupne 1990-tih godina i danas.
Pristup/metodologija. Rad se temelji na primarnim izvorima, uključujući svjedočanstva iz prve ruke bivše ravnateljice Mirjane Urban i ostalih djelatnika knjižnice te sekundarnim izvorima kao što su službeno izvješće konzervatorice za papir iz Državnog arhiva u Zagrebu koja je provela inspekciju evakuiranih knjiga in situ. Ostali izvori su novinski članci, knjige, službeni dokumenti, doktorske disertacije, fotografije, plan mjera za slučaj opasnosti i drugi. Istraživanje je uključivalo suradnju između knjižničarske i restauratorske struke, kao i pronalaženje, skeniranje i arhiviranje vrijednih povijesnih knjižničnih dokumenata.
Rezultati. Rad uspoređuje zaštitu i brigu za baštinske zbirke u tadašnjim ratnim uvjetima s današnjom situacijom te kroz usporedbu i prezentaciju Plana za slučaj opasnosti iz 2020.
godine nudi moguća rješenja za buduće izvanredne situacije i načine kako unaprijediti rad u kriznim uvjetima.
Originalnost/Vrijednost. Rad daje pregled tridesetogodišnjeg procesa zaštite baštinskih zbirki iz perspektive knjižničara i konzervatora-restauratora. Iskustvo Znanstvene knjižnice Dubrovnik u ekstremnim uvjetima ratnog razaranja i način na koji su novi ljudski, financijski i tehnološki resursi kasnije pomogli nadoknaditi štetu trebalo bi drugim ustanovama poslužiti kao primjer iz prakse kriznog menadžmenta i preventivne zaštite te spriječiti slične događaje.
This paper studies the protected cultural property strategic management conducted by UNESCO, the World Heritage Sites (WHS). Its purpose is to explore the measure to which the system of such cultural ...property management is developed, since its meaning goes beyond the touristic purpose and indicates the world’s cultural property. Two Croatian tourist destinations are examined – Dubrovnik and Poreč. At the end of the paper, a comparative analysis of the two investigated cases is presented with the aim of presenting the research results and designing a personal model and conceptual frame of action to create a more efficient management system for protected heritage at all levels
