A very important partaker in all digitization projects has been the scanning and digitization company ArhivPro that developed, tested and applied new technological solutions. The basic goal of the digital repository Cultural heritage of Koprivnica is to promote the local community unique treasures, protect the library, museum and archival materials, and enable their wide accessibility and easy search of the related data.

This kind of cooperation resulted with a consciousness of the joint contribution and ownership over the final product of digitization in preserving and safekeeping the native identity in an overwhelming globalization processes.
