Old Art in the Archives of the Institute of Art Studies. Its State, Problems and Perspectives

Summary/Abstract: The article comments on the state and problems of the Fine Arts Archive among the collections of the Institute of Art Studies (IAS). The archival items there can be divided into three main groups, the most significant being thosecreated within the framework of projects (including international ones) led by former and current researchers of the Institute. The formation and replenishment of this archival array is in direct relation to the approaches of the respective scientific discipline, its thematic fields and the interest of scholars in one or another manifestation of art during different periods of their careers. Under the project named “Cultural Heritage in the Archives of the IAS: an Interactive Map of the Arts in Bulgaria” there has been developed and put forward an archival description system that 1) takes into account the specifics of the respective science and inherent methods of documentation, 2) covers the maximum number of information carriers and 3) meets the needs of both Institute researchers and outside users.
