Entire archives were destroyed by water, including many precious historic prints. But luckily not all was lost to water, thanks to modern technology and quick decision-making. Tomas Rehak is the general director of the Municipal Library whose buildings and archives - including the department of rare prints - were heavily struck back in 2002. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/kniha_susena.jpg?timestamp=1591417765 https://english.radio.cz/thousands-flood-damaged-books-saved-thanks-special-technology-8089710 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
