NOVE SPOZNAJE O OLTARNOJ SLICI SV. MARTINA IZ ŽUPNE CRKVE U VARAŽDINSKIM TOPLICAMA

Author(s): Venija Bobnjarić-Vučković / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 29/2018

The painting of St. Martin is dated to the 18th century and presumed to have originally belonged to an earlier wooden and polychromed altar from the time the church and its furnishing were renovated in the 1760s. In the late 19th century, the old altar was replaced by Francesco Robba’s altar of St. Catherine from Zagreb Cathedral, and since then the painting had on several occasions changed its location on the altar. It was first situated on the new altar as the main altarpiece, to be moved in the 1930s to the altar attic. Finally, in the 1970s it was completely removed from the altar and stored in the parish rectory, where it has remained kept to this day. Ludbreg Conservation Centre of the Croatian Conservation Institute carried out comprehensive conservation work on the painting of St. Martin from 2012 to 2013. In the course of these efforts, once the darkened varnish was removed, the author’s signature was uncovered with the year the painting had originated. This discovery corrected the painting’s dating to 1852, while the author was revealed to be Johann Beyer from Austria, who painted a series of altarpieces in Croatia from the 1840s to 1860s, including a painting for Svibovec near Varaždinske Toplice. Based on the records collected, it can be assumed that it was on this occasion that a new altarpiece was commissioned for the Baroque altar of St. Martin in Varaždinske Toplice. The painting was fully restored by relining the canvas with a new fabric to strengthen the support, a new stretcher and decorative frame were made, and upon the completion of conservation, it was returned to the parish rectory in Varaždinske Toplice. The work was financed by the Croatian Ministry of Culture.

Muzykalia po dawnej Wałbrzyskiej Orkiestrze Górniczej (Waldenburger Bergkapelle) ze zbiorów Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Warszawie

Author(s): Lidia Bialucha / Language(s): Polish Issue: 03 (42)/2019

In the article, the author investigates 24 musical manuscripts belonging to former Miners’ Orchestra of Wałbrzych (Waldenburger Bergkapelle), which used the sources for concerts of the orchestra. The analysed manuscripts have not yet been researched or catalogued in RISM (Répertoire International des Sources Musicales) database before. The ensemble’s repertoire was analysed and the collection’s characteristics, including copyists, watermarks and stamps, were examined. It allowed to assess the provenience of the manuscripts and make certain remarks about the type of repertoire played by Waldenburger Bergkapelle. The results of the analysis were presented in the context that can be found in secondary sources, widely describing the activity of the orchestra. The author also carried on cataloguing in Warsaw University Library, creating the catalogue in the Muscat RISM system. Considering the numbers on shelfmarks, it can be assumed that the original collection contained circa one hundred of musical sources. However, only a small part of them is known and catalogued. Therefore, the knowledge of the collection remains incomplete and is worth further investigation.

Riti i humbur i Llazoreve i “gjallë” ndër arkivat e numerizuara

Author(s): Jonida Sela / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1-2/2019

Together with the rites of the spring cycle, such as Summer Day, St. George, Novruz, Rusticat, etc., it was practiced the rite of Llazore. This rite with pagan characteristics, often encountered in rural areas, is no longer practiced. This has happened due to a number of reasons that have affected the intangible cultural heritage. Despite this, we have managed to preserve and inherit through the archives many songs, sung dances and folkloric motives of this rite through in a digital form, at the archive of the National Center of Folkloristic Activities and the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Art Research (Academy of Albanological Studies). This paper will preview the data that we find in the digital archives, where the rite of Llazore is included, treating this rite in the context of artistic performance. At the same time, we will try to reconstruct the rite, addressing the stages and form of organization of the rite. We will try to achieve this by comparing the archival material with the empirical data we have to collected during our expeditions focused on the rite of Llazore.

Mendimi arkivor shqiptar. Probleme dhe zgjidhje teorike – praktike.

Author(s): Enkelejda Sejdini (Balla) / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1-2/2019

The paper I’m presenting is based on a topic that has so far been studied little in Albanian archivistics. The first attempt in the field of Albanian archival thinking was conducted by Dr. Kujtim Nuro on his PhD thesis “Aspects of Archival Thought in Albania 1506-1912”. The emergence of modern archival thought in the first half of the 20th century does not exclude the conceptual clashes, what should be understood and is understood during the historical development process with “documents and forms of existence, manner of construction, conservation mode and its functions. As a consequence, the Albanian archival thought is ancient, that the “archival concept” was the “document” itself. Modern Albanian archival thinking as institutional theory and practice has preceded the establishment of an institutional archival state alongside the institutionalization of the Albanian state from 1912 until today. In the period 1912-1944 the foundations of archival thought were laid in our country. In this period as well as in the world practice, the “Archive” has experienced scientific and institutional treatments, and due to the necessity of national, international and social institutional communication, the archival opinion of the time was a necessity, the establishment of this activity on legal and observable levels. The entire history of archive development in this period has found deep and concise historical treatment in the “History of Archives in Albania” and Dr. Ivan Loli (Tirana, 1999). Based on the historical archival history of Albania and the world, after the second world war, with the establishment of a state of a different nature, archival thought was not left behind, and in the function of inter-ministerial communication, by the order of the Council of Ministers in 1949, of the State with multiple functions in the field of document handling “as the historical memory of the nation”. The archival Albanian opinion of the state of dictatorship and the closed society was dealt with by M. Pela in the “Archive Manual” of 1984. In this period, the theory and practice of archives marks levels comparable to the European ones and the Albanian archive became a partner and cooperative with many European archives. The communist-era archivistic’s opinion laid before the central bodies the need to raise the qualification of employees on an institutional scale. After the 1990s, the archival thought, in the period of state overthrows, has passed and has been in existence before existentialist situations, as everywhere and in the archive field there was a possibility of annihilation. Archival thinking has preceded these situations, and as a result of the opening of the society “archives from closed and scary institutions” became “open institutions in a free and open society” where besides the institutionally legitimized functions they started to play an important role, in function of non-institutional but also a civil service.

Përqasje historike e zhvillimit arkivor në Kosovë

Author(s): Fikrie Berisha / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1-2/2019

The birth of documents has historically occurred when writing was born as a way of communication in society, as an objective requirement of social development and as a need for the functioning and solution of various human problems. The first documents are found early, sometime in the third millennium BC in the slave-owning states of the ancient East, then later in ancient Greece and Rome. While in the Albanian territories we find documents and archives in very early periods, since the ancient Illyrian cities, such as stone inscriptions, various chronicles or documents which protected the interests of slave owners and were kept mainly in libraries. Meanwhile, when it comes to archives and archival service in today's territory of Kosovo during the time of the Illyrians, namely the Dardan tribe, which was located in the territory of today's Kosovo and not only, we have no written evidence that speaks of archives and for staff who have manipulated written documents. We find such traces in various inscriptions, in stone inscriptions, in cemetery monuments, stelae, inscriptions dedicated to the gods, votes, on stones, etc. The first concrete efforts in terms of archives and archival service in Kosovo were made after the Second World War, the establishment of the new communist government within the former Socialist People's Federation of Yugoslavia, of which Kosovo was an administrative part, specifically in in 1951 when the Provincial State Archive was established.

Koleksionet latine në Bibliotekën Kombëtare të Kosovës

Author(s): Izet Abdyli / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1-2/2019

After research conducted at the National Library of Kosovo “Peter Bogdani”, respectively in the Department of Special Collections, we found that this institution possesses a considerable number of Latin collections. The content of these collections is mainly of scholatic, educational, historical and religious nature. The period of these publications ranges from 1474 to 1955. It is to be emphasized that most of these collections are mainly of historical, cultural, educational, vocabulary, grammar and exercise content. Much of them are books donated by prominent personalities of culture, science and studies such as Kristë Maloki, Shaqir Kastrati and others. But there are also purchases from individuals. They are currently used by library audience only for study and research aspects. Given the importance of these collections, they are classified in the special fund of rare and old book collections and are considered a rarity. In addition to the original books, some of these collections have copies. In this paper we have attempted to provide basic bibliographic data and content.

The Transition of Albanian Art and Culture Facing the Future Challenges

Author(s): Ermir Nika / Language(s): English Issue: 18/2019

After the end of the communist regime in Albania, culture and its institutions were the areas which had to suffer the most extreme damages and transformations. It was not only the way of thinking for a new way of managing, but its infrastructure as a whole, on a regular basis has suffered from considerable damages. In a different point of view, there was also a further considerable departure of individuals and the artistic community with the phenomenon of emigration.In these conditions, the first step that was taken was the drafting and implementation of legislation through which cultural and artistic institutions could operate, as well as free private initiatives. Firstly was first introduced the concept and were taken steps for drafting an intellectual property legislation, the law on cinematography, theater, cultural heritage, libraries and the book, in accordance with the recommendations of the expert representatives of the European Union authorities. Further, the first efforts were made by setting up working groups to draft the first strategic drafts on art and culture as well as medium and long-term budget projections. Consequently, the first effects of a cultural policy aimed at implementing a new administrative-legal platform were felt. This policy would firstly respect the principles of decentralization and secondly the cooperation with the homologous structures of the countries of the Balkan region and further with those of Europe and beyond. The various phases of the reform did not always brought the expected expectations with the projected objectives. As a result, the transition to art and culture institutions lasted somewhat longer than in different sectors of Albania’s socio-political development.

Die erste historische Fachbibliothek im Donau-Karpatenraum? Martin Schmeizel und seine Büchersammlung

Author(s): Attila Verók / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2012

Auf den folgenden Seiten will ich versuchen, eine heute unverständlicherweise vergessene Persönlichkeit, den Hungarus, den siebenbürgisch-sächsischen Historiker und Polyhistor Martin Schmeizel (1679-1747), und – mithilfe seiner einzigartigen Büchersammlung – seine wissenschaftliche Tätigkeit kurz vorzustellen. Dies halte ich für notwendig, da die historischen Schriften Schmeizels vom ersten Drittel des 18. Jahrhunderts bis zum Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts die Geschichtsschreibung in Siebenbürgen grundlegend bestimmt haben, doch auch in den Werken der in anderen Regionen des Donau-Karpatenraums tätigen Geschichtsschreiber kann ihr Einfluss nachgewiesen werden.

Nieznana praca o historii stosunków polsko-ukraińskich w Galicji autorstwa Mariana Tyrowicza w zbiorach Archiwum Nauki PAN i PAU w Krakowie

Author(s): Adam Świątek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 11/2019

The paper aims at acquainting the reader with an unknown typescript by Marian Tyrowicz (1901-1989), a Lviv-born researcher of Galicia (Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria) who was a professor of the Higher School of Pedagogy (today’s Pedagogical University) in Krakow after WWII. The text entitled A Brief Outline of the Ukrainian-Polish Relations in Galicia and Reborn Poland (1772-1939) was created under the German occupation of Lviv in 1943 and is kept in the Scientific Archive of PAN and PAU in Krakow now. Since the unclear copyright status currently prevents its publication, the author of the paper has decided to present its contents and make the most significant findings of Tyrowicz available to scholars. Based on relevant Polish and Ukrainian antebellum literature Tyrowicz arrived at a synthetic picture of relations between Poles and Ruthenians (Ukrainians) on the territory of Eastern Galicia with reference to the political situation, foreign relations, and socio-cultural processes.

The participation of citizens to achieve smart people’s case study:

Author(s): Helen Dian Fridayani,Li-Chun Chiang / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2021

The concept of a smart city according to several studies is very feasible to be adopted and developed as a solution to urban problems so far. Six smart city concepts can be adopted by adjusting the conditions of each city. The six concepts are a smart economy, smart mobility, smart environment, smart government, smart living, and smart infrastructure. After all, the most important element of a city area is the citizens of the city itself. The concept of a smart city was born to answer the problems faced by citizens. The concept of a smart city can be realized if coupled with efforts to make smart city residents (Smart Citizen). Intelligence is not just talking about improving the level of academic education, but increasing awareness and awareness of citizens to be directly involved in the process of formulating government policies and programs in their cities. Through the use of current information technology advances, it is very possible to do and be initiated by the government. Therefore, this paper will analyze the participation of the community in Sleman Regency to achieve the smart peoples. The method used in this study is qualitative and quantitative in which qualitative in-depth interviews are conducted with various sources, namely the government and the community and quantitative is done by distributing 100 questionnaires. The results of this study indicate that people are happy with the government's efforts to realize the concept of smart cities and districts. Besides, although the government has made various kinds of complaints channels to be closer to the community, several factors influence the community to use these channels, such as because of education, and inclusion. In the other hand, another factor that the most influence the use of public complaints is the response from the government.

Author(s): Otar Gogolishvili,Emzar Makaradze / Language(s): Georgian Issue: 1/2019

Ottoman Empire (1877-1878), this region returned to its motherland, but this time the Caucasian administration of Russian empire was trying to hinder its development and confront this side to the rest of Georgia. In Russian leaders’ opinion, it should transform to an important bridge-head for Russian expansion in the near east and platform for implementation of far-reaching plans of empire. Foreigners were also interested in this region of Georgia. They visited to this region at many times and left us important information about political, social, economic and cultural-educational life of the southwestern Georgia of that time (XIX-XX cc.).

Nadzorcy nad aktami oraz archiwiści w grodach Korony w okresie XV–XVIII w. Zarys problemu

Author(s): Janusz Łosowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 122/2021

W literaturze naukowej nie było opracowania o charakterze syntetycznym, które ukazałoby proces ewolucji w zakresie opieki nad aktami grodzkimi, dlatego artykuł ten wypełnia istniejącą lukę. Ukazano w nim proces stop¬niowego powierzania obowiązków związanych z zabezpieczeniem akt grodzkich różnym urzędnikom, który w końcu doprowadził do powołania w jednym z urzędów grodzkich (chełmskim) stanowiska archiwisty. Zakoń¬czyło to w tym grodzie proces wyodrębniania się archiwum z kancelarii grodzkiej. Był to ważny fakt zarówno w dziejach polskich instytucji sądo¬wych okresu staropolskiego, jak i archiwów. W innych urzędach grodzkich formalne wydzielenie archiwów nie nastąpiło, prawdopodobnie ze względu na rychły upadek Rzeczypospolitej. W artykule szczegółowo opisano etapy przekazywania kompetencji archiwalnych na różnych urzędników kance-laryjnych, wykorzystując informacje zawarte w dotychczasowych publika¬cjach oraz nieuwzględnionych do tej pory źródłach. [In the academic literature so far there was no synthetic study presenting evolutionary processes in the field of custody of municipal records, therefore this article aims to fill this gap. It shows the process of gradual delegation of responsibilities concerning safekeeping of town records to various officials, which finally led to establishing the position of an archivist in one of the municipal offices (in Chełm). This ended the process of separation of the archive from the municipal office. This was an important fact in the history of both Polish judicial institutions of the Old Polish period and archives as such. In other municipal offices, a formal separation of archives did not occur, probably due to the imminent collapse of Polish state. This article describes in detail the phases of passing the archival competences to various office clerks, using the information contained in previous publications and sources not covered so far.]

„Cóż można by więcej wyszperać?” Józef Pilch jako użytkownik, twórca i krytyk archiwum

Author(s): Katarzyna Szkaradnik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1 (19)/2022

Katarzyna Szkaradnik’s article is devoted to the archival work of Józef Pilch, a well-known Silesian bibliophile, diarist, biographer and cultural activist from Ustroń, who, above all, was also an amateur historian researching and popularizing the history of Cieszyn Silesia. Drawing on the typology of Uriel Orlow – who divided artists interested in real and metaphorical archives into archive users, archive makers and archive thinkers – Szkaradnik examines Pilch’s activity as a user, creator, and critic of the archive. A self-taught peasant, Pilch not only used materials collected in archives and scientific libraries to shape the historical awareness of the local community with his studies, but also created his own archives. This is how we can interpret the fact that he collected (with a view to creating a dictionary) his collection of expressions of the local dialect, a rich library containing many unique publications and documents, as well as his diary and correspondence preserved in his home archive. Moreover, Pilch reflected critically on the archive as an instrument of power, as evidenced by his publications on the PPS-WRN (Polish Socialist Party – Freedom, Equality, Independence) and the history of the Jewish population in Ustroń.

Български информационен консорциум. Двадесет години библиотечна кооперация

Author(s): Nadya Terzieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2022

The article presents the development of the concept of a library cooperation in the world and in Bulgaria, from its inception until today. Special attention is paid to the creation of the first library consortium for cooperative database subscription – Bulgarian Information Consortium. Its 20-year history and main aspects of activity, applied governance modes and achieved results are tracked. The conclusion about the possible, albeit difficult to achieve, success of private initiatives for a library cooperative is substantiated.
