Croatia is engaging in various efforts to preserve and highlight its regional and historical heritage. Initial focus has been placed on physical historical sites, such as the 17th-century Ottoman architecture of the Maškovića han in Vrana and the medieval ruins of Dvigrad in the Lim Valley.

Efforts have expanded to include the digitalization of cultural assets. This includes the Koprivnica City Museum’s project to digitize the musical scores and personal documents of composer Toma Šestak, as well as the creation of a virtual exhibition and bibliographic database to profile the scientific heritage of the Virovitica-Podravina County.
