Digital cultural ecosystem

The first open digital cultural ecosystem Prabook collects, systematizes and stores information about personalities that have made a significant contribution to national and world cultural heritage. Along with biographical information, Prabook allows users to post photographic images describing the lives of people, as well as information about the results of their activities: books, paintings, sculptures, scientific discoveries, designed mechanisms, machines, buildings, and other creative works.

Prabook has an important mission to systematize the global cultural heritage by events, countries and historical personalities. It may serve as a unique source providing data for research and complementary information about historical heritage.

The Global Digital Cultural Ecosystem is designed to combine records about historical events and personalities with historical places where they took place. It shows evidence and artifacts along with materials and exhibits from museums, libraries, and archives.
