Abstract

This paper focuses on methods of the Digitization of tangible cultural heritage, specifically on digital techniques used in recording the conservation and restoration process performed on a 19th century headgear from the Baltazar Bogišić collection in Cavtat. Tangible cultural heritage is in constant process of deterioration, so it is crucial to combine old and new technologies and digitization methods to improve our ability to preserve it. The methodological approach to conservation and restoration documentation of headgear includes written text, as well as different photographic and graphical records. The data comprises information related to the condition of object, material composition, manufacturing techniques, as well as data obtained during conservation and restoration treatment. Detailed and professionally made conservation and restoration documentation should provide all the key information relevant for the future researcher, curator, or conservator.
