       · Repository of the Academy of Fine Arts – graduate and final theses from 2023/2024

The repository contains all submitted papers from this year that had complete data. Some of the papers are not well recorded, but the library is trying to collect all the leftovers from students. The repository currently has more than 1250 stored objects and you can access it from the library's website.

Thank you to our Archive Manager, colleague Ariana Novina, for her cooperation in collecting the works.
