Sažetak
The focus of the Museum Documentation Centre’s (MDC) interest is on the museum as an institution. The institution (museum, collection) is also the main entity of MDC’s information system. This paper will focus on the structure of the Register and on different aspects of its use. The Register of Museums, Galleries and Collections in Croatia has been managed by MDC since 1992 as a data base whose structure consists of 4 main groups of data: 1) general data concerning a museum; 2) address(es); 3) premises; 4) units: departments, museum collections, documentation holdings; 5) professional museum staff. The structure of the Register is based on the structural organisation of museums, the Museum Law (1998),
the needs of MDC and user’s needs. MDC is the only institution that can provide such a large and systematic set of data on museums
that serve as an important source of information for museum professionals, the Croatian Museum Network, the Ministry of Culture and the public at large. From its Þ rst static and one-user version, the Register turned into dynamic and multi-user model. It can provide either a different simple set of data for the general public or specialised data that enable analyses that can provide a view of the entire Croatian museum community. A particular aspect of the Register is its online application “Find the museum” (2005). Opening its resources to users via the Internet is one of the aspects how MDC fulÞ lls its mission of an information-documentation-communication
centre in the field of cultural heritage.
