Photographic archive of the daily Jutro
After conservation/restoration treatments and digitization of the archive of photographic negatives of the daily Jutro, kept in the National and University Library, the identification of 2203 silver gelatin negatives on glass plates and 35 nitrocellulose negatives started last year.

After digitization, the negatives have been safely stored in archival envelopes and protective boxes that are kept in the appropriate climatic conditions of the depot. The library restricted access to material, but enabled unlimited research and identification, and gradual publication of negatives with relevant data on the Digital Library of Slovenia. Through photographic lens, the access to insight of high-profile and great stories of that time, is now available. You can also follow reports from sports events, recordings of trivial moments and portraits of unknown inhabitants of our country, as well as other documentary images that complement and enrich the words written in the newspaper Jutro.

We invite you to explore the first set of published negatives created in 1926, 1928, 1929, 1930 and 1931, or to browse the newspaper Jutro in which the negatives were published.
