This thesis describes the development of a web application for managing the library’s archive collection. Apart from book materials, the library saves special collections of visual materials containing old postcards, photographs, exlibrises, images and other items. Our focus is on one type of visual materials, namely postcards. The aim of the web application is to create a catalogue of the postcards, were the location of their storage within the library and a link to a digitalized copy is included. Users of the web application can search, select and request access to these digitalized materials. The library staff can then use the web application to efficiently process the request and prepare the materials. The whole process of requesting, receiving the request, finding the item and preparing it for the user, as well as the work process have been improved. The Blazor framework is used to create the application as it enables its development in C\# without using Javascript. As a final step, the functioning of the web application was tested in the real environment. It's potential future development was envisaged as well.
