About the project

Serbian Historical
Corpus

“Serbian Historical Corpus” (SIK) is a project of the Kulturni element organisation that brings together central databases on Serbian history and tradition, such as heraldry, endowment-building, cultural heritage, churches and monasteries.

A platform of this kind is the first digital central register of these subjects, creating an unbreakable link between scholarly facts and a modern presentation of our heritage.

"The way he
himself envisioned it"

An endowment is a lasting gift in the form of private property or a good deed, irrevocably donated for the general benefit and for the development of the cultural, educational or humanitarian needs of society.
