Standardisation of Data on the Acquisition of Museum Objects as Part of the Process of Determining the Provenance of Museum Objects - An Example from the Etnographic Museum
Aleksandra Vlatković
; Ethnographic Museum, Zagreb
Abstract
Vlatković demonstrated that, following the research and analysis of terminology and
verification of other available sources, the initial result of identified items entering
the museum during the researched period was increased from 24 to 264 records.
During the work on the Pilot Project and based on the research results, the
archival materials of the Ethnographic Museum from the processed period were
consolidated, organized, and partially determined. This also stimulated “thinking
about a methodology that could standardise the method of entry of certain groups
of data at the Museum level and organise terms that primarily relate to the method,
source and date of acquisition, document number and previous designation, but also
to information about the previous owner.”
