The Neumann-house was established as a public company at the end of 1997. Its main tasks:

- participation in the digitalizing of the Hungarian Cultural Heritage

- digital library services

- building a meta- data base

- coordination, instruction, research

- "Web-hosting"

-publication

The Ministry of the Hungarian Cultural Heritage owns and maintains Neumann-house. As well as the constant assignment from the ministry, Neumann-house meets the costs of its development projects from competitions and sponsors' assistance. On its own server, it keeps about 6000 poems and 200 other documents (studies, articles, pictures etc.)

Neuman-house keeps its texts in SGML form. Surveying of the documents which contain more works (like books of verses) is quite easy with the help of the dynamic tables of contents.

Neumann-house makes pictures especially for its virtual exhibitions and its publications. In the picture, you can see a costume design of an excellent costumier Teréz Nagyajtai from the collection of the National Theatre Library.

Within the framework of the WebKat.hu project, Neumann-house makes a catalogue of the electronic documents that belong to the Hungarian Cultural Heritage. If you click on the title chosen from the online catalogue, the original document can be located immediately. And if you click on the detailed data field, the bibliographical description appears on the screen in accordance with the MARC standard.

From the public data base, you can find the internet addresses and other data from the Hungarian Archives.

The discography of the Hungarian CD-ROMs has been building since 1993 and it contains the most important data, of about 800 CD-ROMs, that have appeared since 1990. The list of publishers and developers can be examined in a seperate file, as well as the data of firms which occur as stepping-stones in each disc.

Neumann-house published four CD-ROMs in two years: two were published on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Revolution of 1848, and two on the occasion of the Frankfurt Bookfair in 1999.
