The 5th International Conference of Librarians, Archivists and Museums – LAM 2025, entitled “Transformation of libraries, archives and museums in a (post) digital environment with a focus on the protection, accessibility, research and promotion of cultural heritage”, was held on 28 and 29 May 2025 in Cetinje.

The conference was organised by the National Library of Montenegro “Đurđe Crnojević” in cooperation with the State Archives of Montenegro and the National Museum of Montenegro.

From the beginning, the conference aimed to unite common resources in the domain of cultural heritage of Montenegro, in order to exchange experiences and knowledge of experts in this field, guided by the importance of the potential of cultural heritage for the overall progress of our country and region. In addition, the goals were to improve the activities of young professionals who, in Montenegro, do not have the possibility of formal education to work in cultural heritage institutions, as well as to raise the level of its visibility through the use of new technologies.

The cooperation of Montenegrin national cultural institutions in the organization of the conference shows a common concern and responsibility for the preservation and presentation of the tangible and intangible assets of Montenegro, providing the opportunity to present and exchange experiences, good practices and ideas for future cooperation at such and similar events.
