Virtual Pančevo (VIP) Cooperation of Libraries, Archives and Museums Hand in hand: museums and libraries working together (Betsy Diamant-Cohen, Dina Sherman) The Neverending Story

Cooperation of heritage institutions The Pančevo City Library has been promoting cooperation of heritage institutions and digitization of cultural heritage for years, through “Čitalište : the Scientific Journal on Theory and Practice of Librarianship”. At the end of 2013 it raised the issue of digitization in local frameworks by promoting “Digital Atlas of the Cultural Heritage of Serbia”.

Virtual Pančevo By the VIP project, the Library wants to encourage the digitization process and to create: • a portal that will unite all individual presentations in the city • a portal with friendly environment, modern, interactive, functional and easy to search

Panoramic view of the city from the river Tamiš

The Weifert Brewery was ruined in the big fire in 2008.

Two beacon towers, at the confluence of the Tamiš river and the Danube, built in 1909 at the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, are the only surviving pair of lighthouses on the entire course of the Danube.
