FOTOGRAFIJA KAO ISTORIJSKI DOKUMENT (Formiranje zbirke fotografija u Dokumentacionom centru „Nikola Mirkov“)
PHOTOGRAPHY AS A HISTORIC DOCUMENT (FORMING A COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DOCUMENTATION CENTER "NIKOLA MIRKOV")

Summary/Abstract: Photo-documentation has always been, and will continue to be, used by different kinds of users. Photographs of HS DTD created 50 years ago are being used at present, just as today’s photos will be used in a month, year, or a decade. To make photo-documentation available and structured today and in the future, processing and protecting it requires a very close cooperation between archivists and photographers. A photograph represents a part of the cultural heritage kept as a treasure which speaks of past times and has a documentary and artistic value. One of the advantages of digitizing the photo-documentation is making it available to the general public. This is just a part of the process. Selecting photos to be digitized is based on understanding the nature and potential of their usage. The process starts by planning goals, priorities, technical requirements, procedures and intended usage. Digitized photographs require regular care and follow-up of the changing computer technologies. They also require a level of responsibility consisting of photo shooting skills, digital imaging and IT management, conservation, descriptive methods and a storage strategy.
