It includes 5,340 issues, and an estimated total of 253,670 pages (126,835 exposures). The subject of this collection is politics, economics, social issues and culture of the affected population in regions of former Yugoslavia. Coverage is primarily about and/or published in BiH. The languages are SCB and English.

Reasons for consideration:

The reason for filming these periodicals is a focus on the historical context of these publications, specifically on diverse points of view, and changes that occurred over time. Holdings are quite fragmented. Specific titles such as Front slobode, or Ljiljan are held by a number of libraries, but most of these titles don’t have full runs. Holdings of hard copy vs. film vary as well.
