ПРОБЛЕМА ЦЕНТРАЛИЗАЦИИ МУЗЕЙНОГО ДЕЛА В ДИСКУССИЯХ 1917 ГОДА (ПО МАТЕРИАЛАМ СОВЕЩАНИЯ В ИНСТИТУТЕ ИСТОРИИ ИСКУССТВ)

Author(s): Vitaliy Gennadievich Ananev / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2016

The paper is devoted to the problem of centralization and unification of museum affairs in the professional debates during 1917. The main issue is analysis of the archival materials of the counsel on museum affairs and protection of monuments, which was held in the spring – summer of 1917 at the Institute for History of Arts (Petrograd). The author analyzes the main reports on this problem made by such prominent museum figures as A.A. Miller, P.P. Weiner, and N.M. Mogilyansky. A connection is established between their content and the general level of museology at that time. The author establishes a link of these ideas to some initiatives in the cultural politics of the post-October period. During this period, there are two main issues in the framework of this discussion. These ideas are linked to some initiatives in the cultural politics of the post-October period. There are two main issues in the framework of this discussion during the period under consideration. The first question is creation of a government body to manage all museum affairs of the country. A.A. Miller and N.M. Mogilyansky write about the structure of museum management. P.P. Weiner argues for the body of monument protection. The second question is redistribution of museum collections, evaluation of their composition on the basis of subject matter disciplines. On the one hand, these discussions show the high level of development of museology in Russia in the early 20th century. On the other hand, they show that the discourse of museology as an independent academic discipline has not yet received sufficient development. Based on the Russian material here, we can trace the transition from the pre-scientific stage of museology to the empirically descriptive stage.

Prace drobne: „Bibliografia Chorzowa” i „Bibliografia Bytomia” jako sposób na zachowanie w pamięci piśmienniczego dziedzictwa lokalnej społeczności

Author(s): Edyta Kosik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2016

The article provides an explanation of the notion of cultural heritage and regional literature. It presents the need and the purposes of the protection of regional literature i.e. the literary heritage of a local community and it demonstrates the means to preserve the memory of the aforementioned heritage i.e. the establishment of a bibliography. With the use of the method of analysis and criticism of literature two examples of bibliographies were described – “Bibliografia Chorzowa” and “Bibliografia Bytomia”. The article discusses the classification of the type of bibliography which these works represent and adduces a definition of such a type of bibliography. The purpose of the establishment of these bibliographies, their scope and arrangement were also described. There is information about the type of documents which both bibliographies register and the period which the publications mentioned therein represent. Also the forms in which both bibliographies are published – a non-serial publication, an electronic document, a database. The places in which these bibliographies may be consulted were indicated.

Author(s): Boyan Bontchev,Radina Panayotova / Language(s): English Issue: VII/2017

Serious video games applied for learning purposes play a significant and important role for the modern technology enhanced education. The paper presents an educational 3D maze video game dedicated to the development of carpet fabrication in Bulgaria since 17th century until modern days. The game was automatically generated by means of declarative description of the maze processed by an open software tool named Maze Builder and built on top of Unity game platform and specially designed for automatic generation and easy modification of maze video games. There are explained the maze game design process, the educational tasks embedded into the maze, and a practical experiment conducted with the generated game. The initial results obtained from these experiments are very positive and encouraging with regard of playability of such educational mazes and, as well, concerning their easy and straightforward generation by educators, who are not IT professionals.

Deep Belief Networks for Multimodal, Images-based Non Contact Material Characterization

Author(s): Magdelena Stoyanova,Lilia Pavlova / Language(s): English Issue: VII/2017

Our growing cognisance about the chemo-physical properties of electromagnetic waves and of their interaction with various materials provides expanding range of possibilities for quantification and non contact material characterization even in difficult to computation, « non-standard » domains as this of the cultural heritage. This review - thematically part of the IFIDA project dedicated to digitization of archaeometric and conservation-restoration praxis - deals with the possibilities latest neuroinformatic methods offer for a more efficient and fast interrogation, understanding and classification of multi-modal spectral records of paintings on various supports. The workflow followed during their routine non destructive (ND) analysis by human experts is described in terms of specific technical characteristics, research objectives and concrete application for the artworks' characterization as a prototype to simulate artificially. References to techniques for high semantic level information extraction from low-level features are suggested. The strengths and limitations in application of Deep Belief Networks (DBNs) for compression, visualization and data recognition are also considered. Examples of most appropriate architectures and topological maps of Deep Learning Networks for interpretation of UV, IR, XR, β, γ and CT records performing simple characterization and classification tasks - from single layer perceptron to multi-layer deep belief neural networks for unlabelled data - are presented and explained.

Valstybės archeologijos komisija ir dvarų kultūrinis paveldas 1919–1921 metais: tarp gelbėjimo ir konfiskavimo

Author(s): Irmina Abramovienė,Kęstutis Raškauskas / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 68/2017

This publication presents documents illustrating the efforts of the State Archaeological Commission to nationalize the cultural heritage of the estates from November 1919 to April 1921. Director Eduardas Volteris and his collaborators Paulius Galaunė, Konstantinas Jablonskis, Stasys Brašiškis, and Valerijonas Drevinskis visited at least fifteen palaces. Their owners lived in France or Poland, while their estates were supervised by their representatives who were only partially capable of preserving the valuables left behind in these uninhabited palaces. Because of these visits and expeditions, works of art, libraries, and family archives were taken from the palaces to Kaunas and Šiauliai, where they were transferred to archives, museums, and libraries.

Jubileusz biblioteki w Eutin i jej zbiory literatury podróżniczej

Author(s): Włodzimierz Zientara / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

The Eutin library celebrated its modest jubilee last year but at the same time it draws attention to the 25 years of the existence of a scientific unit dealing with the history and culture of traveling. In a tiny town in the north of Germany, the library stores the attention-grabbing collection of 18 thousand volumes of diaries, memories, original manuscripts and prints, a collection of maps and atlases (over 5,000) on various information carriers. What is also available there is Wolfgang Grieg’s constantly updated bibliography of literature and sources found in other collections, currently including 24 thousand titles.

Charakterystyka i opracowanie zbioru archiwalnych negatywów w Bibliotece Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Gdańsku

Author(s): Piotr Giziński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

The purpose of the article is to present a method of the treatment of the collection of archive negatives of the State Institution of Higher Education of Visual Arts in Gdańsk by the library of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. The article discusses the author’s own experience in the work on the photographical material and the relevant problems which were experienced by the library staff. One applied an experimental method in research. The experiences which were collected and described in the article may serve the task of the development of one’s own methods and may prompt librarians to engage in the treatment of photographical collections in their libraries. The process of the digitalisation of photographs sparked a great interest of the users of the library. When one initiates the scanning of materials, one may encounter logistic problems (e.g. the setting up of a workroom), financial problems (e.g. the purchase of a scanner and the relevant materials), also the methodology itself may become an obstacle. It is necessary to make a comprehensive inventory of photographs so that eventually they may be rendered accessible to the users of a reading room. This will contribute to the enhancement of the familiarisation with the history of the University and its influence upon the development of art in the region, and it may also influence the enhancement of the prestige of the scholarly institution. The treatment of a photograph is an interesting and also a difficult task, which requires a great deal of humility, dedication and patience on the part of the researcher.

Garić-grad: pregled tehničke dokumentacije

Author(s): Milan Pezelj / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2011

Technical documentation is a necessary prerequisite for the protection and preservation of cultural heritage. For the purposes relating to Garić-grad, it has been developed since the beginning of the 1960s. Parts of interdependent documentation have emerged depending on the priorities regarding either the protection or the establishment of the facts necessary for its implementation. The documentation relating to the state as found, as well as to the archaeological and conservational explorations, tends often to intertwine with the projects and the implementation documentation; this is primarily conditioned by the construction state of Garić-grad. Due to the fact that the organising, conducting and financing of the protection and preservation works on this kind of cultural heritage are exceptionally demanding, there had even been disagreements within the profession. The initial major impetus and enthusiasm died off in the early 1980s, much before the complete and only logical restoration of the central tower. This situation had a direct impact on its catastrophic present state. A new cycle of conducting exploration works and developing documentation necessary for launching the reparation process began in 2009, when the programme of the Croatian Conservation Institute was included in the regular financing plan of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia.
