CD-ROM "From the Old Photos" (CroMaps navigator - city map Karlovac)
Ordering: Karlovac Municipal Museum
On December 18th 1999 the Municipal Museum of Karlovac celebrates its 95th anniversary. Nowadays Museum has 6 departments: archeology, history, cultural-history, ethnography, natural science and gallery "Vjekoslav Karas".
All the departments, with their collections represent diversity of historical and cultural heritage of the town and traditional and natural resources of its region. Collection of photographs of the Municipal Museum of Karlovac covers a period since the beginning of a photography - daguerreotypes, calotypes and ambrotypes until the beginning of the Second World War.
Besides photographers working in Karlovac, the collection has works of photographers from other Croatian towns as well as foreigners. This is the first catalogue of museum collections representing only the photographers who were working in Karlovac since the second half of the 19th c. until 1940. Among them there are those who were not professionals.
As we think that the amateurs, as well as "Photo club Karlovac" deserve a separate catalogue, this time we will show photographs attributed to just two amateurs - Alfred Peyer and Dragutin Fogina. In the group of "unknown photographers" there are certainly more of them.

Surprised and scared, they did not approach.
The next day at the same time, June 25, 1981, four of them, Ivanka Ivankovic, Mirjana Dragicevic, Vicka Ivankovic and Ivan Dragicevic, felt strongly drawn towards the place where, the day before, they saw the One who they had recognised as Our Lady. Marija Pavlovic and Jakov Colo joined them. The group of Medjugorje visionaries was formed. They prayed with Our Lady and talked to Her. From that day onward, they had daily apparitions, together or separately. Milka Pavlovic and Ivan Ivankovic have never seen Our Lady any more.

Wedding: the ceremony, special lunch or dinner, picnic party, catering service...
...we have 6 banquet salons which can accommodate 4-150 people, while our exterior areas can accommodate up to 300 people, with the possibility of putting up a tent!
... the restorated castle Bezanec is the outcome of one big love! With its romantic presence, the hotel is ready to make all the wishes of love couples come true. Dear guests, we are looking forward to meet You and we have already prepared gifts for Your first visit.
In life, everything spins around love, so the hidden feelings that I experienced in my youth did not avoid me either. Then, when the castle still reminded me of "Sleeping Beauty" or any other more horrible story which had to be invented, I frequently visited an overgrown park around the castle, as a blonde girl was playing there. At that time she was to me the most beautiful creature of this world with her look as in a doe, hovering as an angel. Being so much in love, I did not notice the castle, since eyes were looking for eyes - but, finally, not to bother you too much, instead of a 
kiss of a desired love, I developed an attachment to the castle. In this relationship in which it will be renewed, the castle suffered more than anybody else.The historical injustice was redressed.
The castle - forgotten and lonely, got a desired partner, and for truth's sake, I'll admit that it became the monument of defiance of one big unrequited young love."
(a quotation from the book by Siniša Krizanec "You will all sue me")

Silba was then taken over by the famous Venetian family Morosini, retaining the possession of Silba until the first quarter of the 19th century. In 1838 the Morosini sold Silba to the rich American returnee, Mark Ragusin from Veli Lošinj. Due to a 13-year-old tax dispute with the locals, Ragusin decided to sell the island to the inhabitants themselves, and each inhabitant was to pay proportionally for his posse
ssion, all amounting to 5025 Bavarian thalers. News of the purchase arrived on the island on March 19, 1852, and in remembrance of that event the inhabitants of Silba celebrate the feast of Saint Joseph, which takes place on that day, every year. The period of prosperity for Silba was in the 17th and 18th cent. It was the locality of seamen and owners of hundreds of sailships. Strong seafaring business conditioned the development of an above-average culture in the way of living, dressing and home decorating. There were more than 1200 inhabitants on the island at the time. The island of Silba today is under the administration of the city of Zadar.

CD-ROM "The mother of Bistrica"
2003.y - in 4 languages: Croatian, English, Italian and German
The shrine of the Mother of God of Bistrica in the small town of Marija Bistrica is the largest Croatian parish site of religious celebration and it has a central place in the life of the Croatian people. That is why it has been officially proclaimed as the national shrine of Mary. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims come to Marija Bistrica every year to bow down before close to God, consolation and concilation and returning to their homes filled with new strength for a Christian life in a family and society.
Votive Statue The votive statue the Mother of God of Bistrica dates from the end of the 15th century and belongs to the series of black Madonnas, althought as it was discovered during the restoration its dark colour is not original. The late Gothic wooden statue of the Bistrica Mother of God is the work of an anonymous master.
The expressive strenght of this statue is less in the artistic achievement than in its very religious and national significance. The statue was firstly placed in the ancient shrine at Vinski Vrh in 1499, and then it was buried in Marija Bistrica in 1545 and rediscovered in 1588. It was forgotten again and walled in, then refound for the second time in 1685.
