The virtual project by Belarus National Library “One hundred days before the Great Victory. Belarus newspapers in 1945” reconstructs the daily chronicle of facts and events of winter-spring 1945 (war efforts, industry and agriculture rehabilitation in Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, experiences of libraries, research and educational organizations). The project is to demonstrate the information potential of the Library’s newspaper collection. The goals are described; statistical data are provided. The content and formal structure of selected news, structure of newspapers and books as a source, the project stages and implementation, the concept, production of newspapers digital copies, project promotion are discussed. The experience may be useful in other virtual projects. The full texts of the newspapers used in the project are accessible online and will be of interest to historians and everyone who would like to learn more about the heroic period and people who led to the Great Victory both in the front and behind the lines.
