Nikola Grcevski, Dragan Mihajlov, Dejan Gorgevic

Abstract: Written sources of information are generally the best way to store data or other kind of human created materials and creations, like songs, music etc. From very beginnings of human civilization, people realized that valuable and important "things" should be written, so that they are remembered. Civilization created alphabets, letters and many machines afterwards to support the written material production.
The later growth of information technology lead to the need of transformation of these printed materials in suitable digitized form, and by that giving them extended capabilities of manipulation and use of stored information. By this old and long time prepared and stored valuable information gets new dimensions of flexibility and usability, creating electronic digital archives. These archives offer many important advantages over standard printed libraries and archives like, ease of copying, ease of availability, the possibility of creating search engines, large indexes etc.
