Zbiory fotograficzne przechowywane w Bibliotece i Archiwum Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Gdańsku – historia przypadków związanych z ochroną i opracowaniem cyfrowych kopii oraz udostępnianiem ich w internecie
Collections of photography housed in the Library and Archive of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk – history of cases associated with the protection and the processing of digital copies and the making available of said copies on the internet

Summary/Abstract: The collections of the Library and the Archive of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk feature inter alia the collections of photography, both in the digital and in the analogue forms. Due to the nature of the collections which refer to the history of the school, including the most recent history, we may classify them as a part of cultural heritage. These valuable resources require protection accompanied by the respect of the right of making them accessible. One of the forms of the protection of analogue collections has to do with the making of digital archives of photographs, due to which databases are established, and these in turn also require security, management and the development of appropriate descriptions. The activities of the employees of the Library and the Archive of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk for the protection of the photographical collections which are presented in the article are supposed to demonstrate how the results of the process of the digitalisation of photographs may be used and how to reach a wider group of recipients by means of the internet.
