Content Description
The Nevenka Mitra collection includes scrapbooks and recordded news segments (VHS) that document the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995) and its aftermath. Also included are pre-recorded videotapes of Croatia: Land of 1,100 Islands and 101 Dalmatians (directed by by Jakov & Dominik Sedlar; 45 min.) and an accompanying letter from the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in the United States of America.
