Latest news: Gymnasium Memory ePlaque
On November 25, 2019, the members of the Novo mesto Cultural Heritage Promotion Committee met at the meeting and decided to initiate an action by exploiting information technology (Internet) to the benefits of the City of Novo mesto and Gymnasium Novo mesto.
All Novo mesto Gymnasium documents have been digitalised and are available at Digital Library of Slovenia – dLib.si. For example, the anniversary books (see below). Considering the wealth of digital data available, the Committee members have adopted the guidelines for the implementation of an action named Gymnasium Memory ePlaque as follows:
On the Internet Memory ePlaque, the names of the graduates, teachers, and principals of the Novo mesto Gymnasium will be listed.
The basic data set is a list of the graduates of a certain year indicating the name & family name, date & location of the birth of each graduate.
For each teacher and principal, also duration of her/his involvement (year-to-year) is indicated.
The available photographs of the gymnasium graduates, teachers and principals are an integral part of the Memory ePlaque.
At the portal, the introductory text on the Memory ePlaque with the user instructions will be published in Slovene and English. In case of any other gymnasium participating in the action, the introduction & instructions will be published in the language of the respective country too (Croatian, Hungarian, German, or Italian).
The Gymnasium of Novo mesto is the caretaker of the portal at which the Memory ePlaque data is installed and maintained.
The portal will provide various search options based on the following key words: type of person (graduate, teacher, principal), family name, graduation year, birth year, birth location.
The data search options will allow for numerous data analysis opportunities.
It is expected that the portal will be implemented within one year.
The Committee members believe that this is a one-off promotion of the City of Novo mesto and Novo mesto Gymnasium.
The action is a nice opportunity to revive the important historical fact that we are all still connected by a common cultural tradition.
The Committee is inviting the Empress Maria Theresa Gymnasiums Network members to join the action and create the Memory ePlaque of their gymnasium as well.
