Sažetak
Secondary level museum documentation, including the inventory book of exhibitions,
comprises accompanying and supplementary archives that record museum activity. The
first data on the Archaeological Museum of Istria’s exhibition activity were gathered in
the late 1960s when museum staff recognised the importance of collecting and preserving
all published exhibition materials i.e. invitation cards, posters, brochures, catalogues etc.
The procedures of recording museum’s exhibition activity have changed throughout the
history of the Museum. From today’s point of view two periods are differentiated: the
period before and the period after the adoption of “Regulations governing the content
and method of keeping museum documentation about museum holdings’’ in 2002.
By the time of the adoption of the above mentioned document, there had been no
concrete recording of museum’s exhibition activity in means of manual or computer-based
data processing. Nevertheless, published materials (invitation cards, posters, brochures,
catalogues etc.) were collected and preserved as documents in Museum Documentation
Department.
After the adoption of the document mentioned, more systematic gathering of museum
exhibition activity data started and, beginning with January 1st, 2003, 16 data categories
of each exhibition have been entered in the inventory book of exhibitions.
Several years ago, the Museum staff started systematic digitisation and cataloguing
of museum material and documentation, aiming to protect the originals, increase
accessibility, and provide easier and quicker access to the materials and documentation.
The S++, a segment of M++ software for processing museum materials and
documentation implemented in the Museum, completely conforms to the “Rules
governing the content and method of keeping museum documentation about museum
holdings’’. Its usage results in the establishment of uniform standards and improvement
in the quality of Museum work.
