Regional Academic Centers and Their Role for Digitalization of the Cultural and Historical Heritage of the Black Sea Region

Abstract

Regional academic centers in the country create opportunities for applying an interdisciplinary approach in research, education and, above all, effective applied results serving business, municipal and national management organizations and institutions. One of the main activities of the Association "Regional Academic Center of Bulgarian Academy of Sciences" in Burgas is participation in the development of methods and technologies for digitalization of the cultural and historical heritage of the Black Sea region. The outsourced unit of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences carries out digitization activities of the cultural and scientific heritage of the region, having so far participated in activities to create digital libraries for the iconic collection of the Burgas History Museum and for the collections of the Regional Library "Peyo Yavorov" Burgas.
