The cultural heritage of Osijek, the largest city in eastern Croatia, and of Slavonia, Croatia?s eastern historical region, is represented by the holdings of two valuable local history collections ? Essekiana, operating as part of the Museum of Slavonia, and Mursiana, held as part of the Osijek City and University Library (GISKO).

GISKO develops and curates the Mursiana local history collection as part of its Main Reading Room. It primarily collects all library resources in any way related to the city of Osijek, but it secondarily also spans resources related to Osijek-Baranja County and the region of Slavonia, contained in Slavonica, Mursiana?s sub-collection. Since GISKO is not only a public and city library, but also the library of the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, its local history collection also includes the titles published by the Osijek university. In terms of content, Mursiana, as GISKO?s local history collection, includes titles published in Osijek and its surrounding region (with particular emphasis being placed on those published prior to 1945), titles authored by the inhabitants of Osijek and its surrounding region, titles by authors originating from Osijek and its surrounding region as well as content on it published anywhere in the world.

Wishing to shed light on the history of Osijek in all its richness, as well as on the city?s social structure, art, the creative achievements of its prominent figures and other specific aspects of Osijek?s cultural and historical heritage not available on physical carriers, the Croatian Web Archive (HAW) collected publicly available websites and other online content related to the city of Osijek. In this way it has brought together in the online environment the content of various cultural institutions, associations, local websites, the Osijek university?s faculties, local schools, kindergartens, as well as social media content related to Osijek?s past.

Resources in the collection were harvested as part of a crawl performed on 20 October 2022, resulting in 847 collected URLs, totalling 148 GB of data.
