150 years of Hungarian statistics will be digitalised
The Central Statistical Office (KSH), its library and the National Széchényi Library (OSZK) will digitalise 150 years of statistics by 2026 in the framework of a cooperation agreement signed on Friday.
The agreement was signed by KSH chairman Áron Kincses, KSH library director Rita Kálmán and OSZK director Dávid Rózsa, OSZK said in a statement.
Rózsa said digitalisation was of “key importance” to preserving national identity, advancing the knowledge-based society and boosting the country’s competitiveness. He added that the project was a good example of the benefits of cooperation among public institutions.
OSZK, a culture strategy institution, operates as central Europe’s largest digitalisation centre with more than one million pages of documents processed, the statement said.
Established in 1867, KSH is one of Hungary’s most well-established public administration institutions with a long tradition, it said.
