Croatian School Museum’s Museum Documentation

Filip Sunđi ; Croatian School Museum, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

This paper presents the most relevant information concerning the Croatian School Museum’s museum documentation, namely the primary and secondary documents created throughout its long history by its expert employees. It all began in 1901, after the museum was established. Museum objects, archival materials and books were properly inventoried and processed in catalogs of museum collections and subcollections, the Pedagogical Archives and the Educational Library, certified and signed by Josip Medved, its first curator.
The importance and significance of such museum documentation are highlighted in the Museums Act, according to which museum documentation and museum materials must be protected as cultural goods and are therefore subject to the applicable cultural heritage protection and preservation regulations. Pursuant to the Ordinance for the Substance and Method of Maintaining Museum Documentation of Museum Materials, the Croatian School Museum now regularly maintains primary and secondary documentation which allows us to obtain information about museum materials, their condition, exhibitions, or any other activities organized by and involving the Museum in professional and scientific matters.
