The awareness of the importance of protecting local culture is reflected in local history collections, which act as the guardians of regional heritage. Bringing together in one place varied content specifically related to some area makes such collections an authentic and valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about that area, its past and present, for which reason local history collections have scientific, documentational, historical, artistic and social value.

Possegana, the local history collection of the Požega City Library which preserves and makes available resources related to the city of Požega and its surrounding region, Požega-Slavonija County and notable figures from the region, was established in 1985. Its greatest treasures are the original copies of books by Antun Kanižlić (1699-1777) and Miroslav Kraljević (1823-1877), the legacies of Ivša Bošnjak Dragovački (1879-1955) and Zlata Kolarić-Kišur (1894-1990), personal libraries of Julije Kempf (1864-1934) and Franjo Ciraki (1847-1912), manuscripts by prominent figures in the region’s history and works by other writers related to Požega.

The Croatian Web Archive (HAW) collects, preservers and makes available in one place publicly available webpages and news sites related to Požega-Slavonija County such as those of local cultural institutions, institutions and organisations of local and regional self-government, various associations, schools, kindergartens, local web portals, etc.

Resources in the collection were harvested as part of a crawl performed on 28 September 2021, resulting in 83 collected URLs, totalling 114 GB of data.
