The collection of books on Goli Otok is kept in the library of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU) and is the most significant collection dedicated to this topic. The collection was created through the activities of the Yugoslav and Serbian writer and dissident, Dragoslav Mihailović, who himself served a sentence of fifteen months on the Goli Otok (1951–52). The collection is held in the SANU library as a separate resource and is accessible to researchers.
