Confiscated / Returned / Donated - The Importance of Museum Documentation

Dajana Batinić ; Zagreb City Museum

Sažetak

In the text Confiscated/Returned/Donated – the Importance of Museum Documentation, Dajana Batinić, head of the Documentation Department at the Zagreb City Museum, presented the results of the research on the archival materials of the museum from 1941 to 1951, with a focus on documenting acquisitions and the manner in which items entered the museum’s collection. This category had already existed in the first inventory book of the museum, drawn up in 1907 by the founder of the institution, Emilij Laszowski. The analysis of the terminology used for the acquisition of museum items revealed that, throughout history, various terms had been used, some of which were associated with ethically unquestionable methods of acquisition, while others referred to unethical acquisitions. During the Pilot Project, 49 items were identified, with the source of acquisition being the Commission for Gathering and Protection of Cultural Monuments and Antiquities, for which, as concluded by Batinić, further research into the records held in the Croatian State Archives and the items themselves should be conducted.
