Abstract

The literary heritage is an important part of the cultural heritage that includes the author’s legacy and works. Apart from manuscripts, printed and non-printed literary heritage, the literary heritage
in museums includes a broad span of various forms of material. It can include:
a. The author’s personal belongings.
b. Objects that can be used to reconstruct the space, location and time in which individual authors worked.
c. Objects that can be used to reconstruct or musealise a certain literary storyline.
Starting from theoretical premises the paper will present the results of a survey of museum practice in Croatia with respect to the collection, preservation and exhibition and publication presentation
of the literary heritage. The survey carried out in the beginning of 2006 collected information about museums in Croatia that, along with memorial museums of authors listed in MDC’s Register of
museums, galleries and collections in the Republic of Croatia (Home of Marin Držić, Dubrovnik Museums in Dubrovnik, the Matija Vlačić Ilirik Memorial Collection, National Museum in Labin, the Ivan Goran Kovačić Memorial Museum in Lukovdol, the Bela and Miroslav Krleža Memorial, the Zagreb City Museum, the Petar Preradović Museum in Grabrovnica, the Ljudevit Gaj Museum in Krapina, the Eugen Kumičić Memorial House in Brseč, and the Mijo Mirković-Mate Balota Memorial Collection in Rakalj), contain the literary heritage, and to learn about the authors and the literary works that the holdings are linked with. The results obtained from the survey are a starting point for the study of the role of museums in the preservation and presentation of the Croatian literary heritage and for the Register of
Croatian Authors in Croatian Museums that could become a part of a single Register of the Literary Heritage in Croatia through cooperation with heritage institutions and individuals.
