WHO WE ARE
About Macedonian State
“Macedonian State” is an independent, non-profit digital initiative dedicated to the preservation, presentation, and promotion of Macedonian history, culture, identity, and heritage.
The initiative was formed on May 15, 2024. Its website was officially launched on September 8, 2024, on the Day of Macedonian Independence, the national holiday marking the 1991 referendum through which Macedonia declared its will for independence from Yugoslavia.
The website is intended to serve as a hub for multiple digital libraries, as well as for our own private book collection. It brings together historical sources, rare books, archival materials, photographs, maps, testimonies, publications, and educational content in one organized digital space.
Its purpose is to make these materials more accessible to the public and to support a broader understanding of Macedonian historical memory through research, digital publishing, documentation, and visual presentation.
“Macedonian State” was established in response to the need for a serious digital repository of Macedonian historical and cultural materials. Many valuable sources remain scattered, forgotten, difficult to access, or insufficiently represented online. The project seeks to collect, protect, and present such material in a structured and responsible manner for current and future generations.
