Future plans include a long-term project with the potential of developing into a digital infrastructure for provenance research. An ongoing process of digitization of archival holdings has opened up new opportunities for collaboration with national and international institutions through several projects. In order to present digital objects in a more vivid and interactive way, new digital content has been created through virtual exhibitions as one of the visually appealing portal features. The Fine Arts Archives went online in 2009 via DiZbi, an institutional repository platform, which for the first time established connection between the digitized textual and visual sources of different Academy units. Digital technology has been continuously providing new and faster ways of retrieving archival information-from simple concept searches of several offline databases to the more advanced possibilities of online search based on semantic web technology. In this paper, we will present the history of the Archives’ automation process, which started in 1995-from simple Excel tables and Access databases created for the Archives’ specific needs to a complex open-access repository platform, developed as a resource for the growing field of digital art history. Established as the first documentation centre and archive for national art history, the Fine Arts Archives at the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts have been continuously developing their information system and support for experts and the scholarly community.
