The digitization project of the Elbasan Public Library "Qemal Baholli," initiated by the Albanian Canadian Development Alternative, aims to enhance the digital presence in the city of Elbasan, Albania. This project seeks to create an advanced digital platform encompassing a wide range of valuable literary and cultural materials from the library. The main focus of the project is the digitization of specific materials from the library's collection, including the digitalization of the Albanology resources, making these resources easily accessible online.

Through this initiative, the project aims to serve as a rich source of knowledge and culture for the local audience as well as for Albanians in the diaspora. By utilizing technology to render such materials accessible, the project facilitates access for the Albanian diaspora, enabling them to read and explore this intellectual wealth from wherever they are.

In this context, the project is an effort to strengthen cultural and historical ties with the Albanian diaspora, allowing them to support and contribute to the preservation of Albanian cultural heritage. This initiative also contributes to improving Elbasan's digital presence on the international stage, showcasing the richness of Albanian culture and history to a broader audience. Collaborating with the external organization, the library staff is addressing technological challenges to ensure that this project has a positive impact on knowledge and culture at both the local and global levels. Thus, the digitalization project of the Elbasan Public Library "Qemal Baholli" represents a significant step towards enhancing digital accessibility and preserving cultural heritage for future generations.
