Abstract

Cultural heritage undoubtedly constitutes large part of identity, history and
culture of a nation. Many cultural heritage material that in some cases legally
registered as cultural property, is deposited in information (heritage) institutions.
Therefore, the professional staff of information institutions must have the knowledge,
skills and competencies for the care, preservation, safeguarding and presentation of
heritage. This paper describes and contextualizes the necessary knowledge of
information sciences students who will care for the preservation of heritage
collections in libraries, archives and museums. The necessity to transfer this
knowledge into practice is especially emphasized, focusing on education and public
awareness of the heritage preservation and value.
