FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to management of documents, particularly to applications for creating and managing persistent document collections. The technical result is achieved owing to a data storage which is used to store one or more persistent document collections, a content management application which is used for managing documents for users, for creating one or more persistent document collections of a sub-set of the documents upon user request, and for storing the one or more persistent document collections in the data storage, wherein users can create one or more persistent document collections from a sub-set of the documents and also modify the one or more persistent document collections; a requested portion of one or more persistent document collections can be output upon request from an external application so that the external application can download one or more of the documents that are represented by the persistent document collection for further modification by the user.
