Abstract
The paper presents an overview of Vladimir Tkalčić’s activity and role in the
establishment and management of museum records of the Ethnographic Museum.
Immediately after its founding, approximately 20,000 objects entered
the museum’s holdings, therefore, one of the first tasks was their expert processing,
inventorying and cataloguing. Thanks to Tkalčić, the foundations of
museum’s professional and scientific activity were laid, with an effort to abide
by the museological principles of the time. The paper emphasizes the form and
method of museum record-keeping, which was maintained even after Tkalčić’s
directorship, albeit with minor modifications, and to a significant degree corresponds
to the contemporary practice of museum record-keeping of the Ethnographic
Museum, as well as to the current regulations.
