This paper focuses on the issue of making historical legal literature in the Czech Republic accessible. For historical and structural reasons, the accessibility of old legal literature in Czech libraries is inadequate. One possible solution to this long-term problem is the systematic digitisation of this old literature. The primary objective would not be preservation digitisation, otherwise the most common type in library digitisation projects, but rather both supplementary digitisation intended to supplement the book and periodicals fund with additional titles, and also ‘opening digitisation’, meaning digitisation to enable new ways of working with texts and information. The paper also concisely introduces the basic principles and technological, software and licence parameters of the National Legal Heritage project, which is an attempt at the practical application of these conclusions. This pilot project is primarily focused on the interwar period of the First Czechoslovak Republic, which was - in both Czech and Slovak history - an important period of great legal activity and preparations for major reforms.
