Abstract
This is a continuous programme of creation, processing and evaluation of a comprehensive bibliographic database of Czech studies literature. It is a continuation of the project of field (historical) bibliography which has been continuously lasting in the Czech Lands since 1905. Nowadays modern methods are applied to these processes and data provided in the framework of this project undoubtedly belong to essential sources of information for historical sciences and related fields.
The aim of our project is to further develop online accessible database of the Czech historical bibliography as interim and retrospective bibliography (Bibliography of the Czech Lands history, abbr. BDČZ, http://biblio.hiu.cas.cz/) and publishing of other partial outputs in printed format or on data carriers. Another important task is the integration of BDČZ into the system of European national historical bibliographies in the framework of these two international projects: European Historical Bibliographies (Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften) and Literaturdokumentation zur Geschichte Ostmitteleuropas (Herder-Instiut Marburg).
BDČZ was included as a priority project in the framework of social sciences and humanities in the Roadmap Czech Republic – large infrastructures for research, experimental development and innovation whose text was approved by the Government on March 15, 2010. This strategic document was created in response to the European roadmap (ESFRI Roadmap and reflects in itself the involvement of Czech large infrastructures into the European Research Area).
