Identification and interpretation of material, technological and functional substance of museum collection items as a starting point for other museum activities

Vol.9,No.2(2020)

Abstract
An integral part of museum practice is the maintenance of traditional time-proved procedures of working with cultural heritage, collections, archival materials and information, as well as the search for new approaches to the museum phenomenon. It is important to not threaten the material substance of musealia and to not limit in any way the preservation of cultural heritage, which is one of the most important efforts and the sense of museum institutions. Over the course of time, museum workers develop various methods of working with collection objects, which are derived from their condition, material, function and need for preservation. Various databases, new platforms and cataloguing systems arise, according to which taxonomy and further use and presentation of collections are based on the material substance, processing and production techniques. These databases and broadly conceived cooperation projects of various types of memory institutions provide access to collections of all types of documents and are working with historical, social, economic and technological context which they at the same time define, interpret and use for presentation. An example thereof are popular methods of presenting musealia and facts by "telling stories of the objects" and by looking for the connections between objects, historical events and personalities. The topic of this paper are contemporary methods of documentation, identification and interpretation on the outlined basis. These approaches are based on the authors' empirical knowledge, on their experience acquired from the projects of documentation and reconstruction of technological and production procedures, and on information shared within the international museological platforms, meetings and organizations.
