Endangered Photo Collections about the Participation of Pre-industrial Bulgaria in Three Wars in the Beginning of the 20th Century

Author(s): Valeri Katzounov / Language(s): English Issue: VI/2016

The resources of the modern technology presuppose an initiative development in order to unite the efforts and activities for the collaboration in digitalization of the most important pieces of cultural and historical heritage. In a number of cases they have received the support of scientific projects for the creation of an open communication environment with a purpose of promoting the cultural values of the community. This report presents work on a research project for the conservation of cultural heritage at risk. The problem is with national priority and occupies a significant place in the European integration process. The two collections with which we apply in the British Library need special attention due to their poor structural condition even at the time of their transfer to the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences more than 50 years ago. The first collection was created by Colonel Petar Darvingov and consists of 3100 black and white old photos, maps and sketches. The second collection of Aleksandar Bozhinov contains 2050 old photos, sketches, caricatures and cartoons with pencil and ink. The documents have an exceptional historical and informational value, but their physical conditions hinders their scientific use. The creation of digital copies will enable working with them, which in turn will protect the originals from further damage. The copied documents will build a distinct insurance fund and the institution will be able to broadcast scientific information through various forms of promotion of the fund – exhibitions, presentations, etc.

Author(s): Katrina Koleva,Kalina Sotirova-Valkova,Elena Naidenova / Language(s): English Issue: VI/2016

This paper is focused on the theory, standards and good practices in digitization of archival documents, as implemented in the Scientific Archive at the National Institute of Archeology with Museum (SA of NIAM-BAS). We explored metadata standards for archival documentation ISAD, EAD and “universal” cultural metadata standard Dublin Core trying to choose the best fit for representing of all the fields of SA of NIAM to de facto “standard”, used in NIAM-BAS since the 60s. The archival documentation of archeological museum is very specific and contains five different types of documents: scientific report, field diary, field inventory book, photographic documentation and graphic documentation. The results and current annotation specifics are explained. Perspectives for future information system development are outlined.

Digital Object Identifier (DOI) – an Important Element in Scientific Communication

Author(s): Еlena Pavlovska / Language(s): English Issue: VII/2017

Digital object identifier (DOI), which appeared in the late 1990s, allows users to immediately find on the Internet the digital object they are interested in – an article, book, journal, dissertation, etc. Nowadays the DOI technology is widely used by foreign publishers. The availability of DOI in scientific documents, as well as the inclusion of DOI in bibliographic references in the literature, has already become a mandatory requirement for journals indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Unfortunately, DOI is included only by some journals published in Bulgaria. The article presents some new opportunities which DOI opens not only to scientific journals, but also to authors.

Východiská a perspektívy katalogizácie cyrilských rukopisných pamiatok na Slovensku

Author(s): Peter Žeňuch / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 02/2024

The paper describes the current state of documentation of Cyrillic manuscripts in Slovak archives and museums. It points to the inevitable need for their systematic description from the formal and content point of view, which will enable, in particular, a deeper understanding of the processes of inter-confessional communication in the Slovak as well as in the wider Slavic and European context. Such documentary research is a challenging topic, which is, however, only partially supported by a project in the Slovak academic environment, but only teamwork is most important to achieve the result, and such a team is mainly composed of individuals not only professionally prepared, but also personally interested in finding common solutions.

Iustin Ștefan Frățiman, a representative of the national movement and the struggle for independence, Romanian language, and culture, clearly expressed his position on the problem of national unity through his publications, especially those from the “România Nouă” newspaper. In this newspaper, during the first four months of 1918, he published a series of articles concerning the fate of the Romanians from Transnistria, Siberia, Turkestan, Caucasus, and Crimea. He pleaded for the nationalisation of church and school; together with I. Buzdugan, he participated in the making of a programme for the reformation of the Transnistria school. He identified a lot of national historical monuments which were estranged and requested their return home. He contributed to the creation of the Bessarabian Scientific Society and the issuing of the Bulletin of the “B. P. Hasdeu” Historical-Literary Society from Chișinău; he edited the first issues of this journal. He pleaded for the collecting of ethnographic, folkloric, and documentary materials and for storing them in a national history museum. Iustin Frățiman – an active participant in the movement of national revival in Bessarabia. A man of encyclopaedical culture, a graduate of three faculties – theology (Kazan), archaeology, philology (Petersburg), a passionate researcher, and a remarkable publicist; he dedicated his entire life to the welfare of the nation.

Definiția muzeului și rolul acestuia în societatea de azi

Author(s): Gabriel BARBU / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 35/2021

In the past years, museums are in a process of continuous transformation. At the same time, museums have become interactive spaces, which offer visitors educational and fun activities. Therefore, in the dissemination and transmission of knowledge, the museum has a vital role in the process of lifelong learning. Social and economic changes have led to new attitudes of the public towards the expectations related to museum services and offers. The museum must become a meeting point between museum professionals and the visiting public, researchers and artists, being a link between the rigorous world of science and the beauty behind scientific research, through the public’s foray into science. Therefore, the launch in the ICOM space of the challenge to change / complete the definition of the museum proves to be a more than welcome initiative.

Gramatička djela na arapskom, turskom i perzijskom jeziku u rukopisnim zbirkama Bosne i Hercegovine

Author(s): Dželila Babović / Language(s): Bosnian,English Issue: 29/2024

Goal: To present grammatical works in Arabic, Turkish, and Persian that were created, copied, inherited, and used as compulsory textbook literature in Bosnia and Herzegovina from the 16th to the 19th centuries. For this purpose, research was conducted in the manuscript collections of public libraries, archives, and institutes in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Approach/methodology: Using the method of analysis and comparison of data collected by direct inspection of manuscript works, with the use of references and information about manuscripts contained in the catalogs of the collections, the selection of materials and the selection of reference works for analysis were carried out. Results: Show and valorize the modalities and scope of production and reception of manuscript grammatical works and their practical use in given contexts. We will pay special attention to the grammars written by Bosniak authors in oriental languages and their contribution to the development of the grammatical tradition in Bosnia. Originality/value: Bearing in mind the documentary character of the manuscripts as first-class historical sources, the research, analysis, and conclusions reached will not only represent a contribution to the study of linguistic history in Bosnia but also provide an incentive for further research in that direction.

Muzeum Narodowe jak Met, czyli o współczesnym znaczeniu badań proweniencyjnych

Author(s): Ewa Manikowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2024

This article – by referring to numerous and celebrated examples – discusses the growing significance of provenance studies within the activity pursued by museums all over the world. The author indicates their specific foundations and research instruments, as well as ethical and legal premises. In doing so she presents the emergent evolution due to which provenance studies have become today an indicator of the social mission conducted by museums. A thus outlined background developed into a point of departure for an analysis of the case of Polish museums. The article indicates serious negligence within this range and proposes a thesis claiming that this is the reason for an immense and increasing hiatus not solely between the praxis of Polish museums and world institutions but also between the awareness and sensitivity of Polish and global researchers and curators Moreover, the article possesses also a postulative character: it indicates the path of introducing a thought out, complex, and consistent policy of provenance studies without which Polish institutions will increasingly diverge from the contemporary model of museology based on historical and social sensitivity, ethics, cooperation, and trust.

Étudier et comprendre le lexique médical mésopotamien : vésicule biliaire et bile

Author(s): Vérène Chalendar / Language(s): French Issue: 52/2023

This paper focuses on the Sumerian and Akkadian anatomical lexicon, and in particular on terms referring to the “gallbladder” and “bile”. It addresses the issues surrounding the creation and understanding of the scholarly lexicon. By examining the written production of diviners and therapists, as well as non-specialised corpora, it highlights the relationship between medical and other sources. First, the variety of literature mentioning the gallbladder and/or bile is presented. Subsequently, the lexical sources, the most direct evidence of Mesopotamian anatomical knowledge, are confronted with other types of texts in order to approach the best possible definition of technical terms. The final section focuses on the transfer of knowledge between scholarly disciplines and sheds light on the way in which the understanding of the lexicon is likely to influence our appreciation of ancient medical knowledge and practices.

Vinăriciul în nordul Olteniei – de la dijmă domnească la privilegiu mănăstiresc

Author(s): Mihai Bănuț / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 36/2022

The article is intended with the purpose of building a paper with the help of which we can better understand the monastic land, but especially the system of monastic privileges for the monasteries in northern Oltenia. It makes use of the references of monasteries such as: Cozia, Govora, Tismana, Bistrița, Arnota, Dintr-un lemn, Surpatele or Hurezi. The wine tax is first intented as a royal tithe for the monasteries in the mentioned area, evolving towards what we have chosen to refer to as monastic privilege.The wine tax is one of the oldest forms of donations in the entire southern Carpathian area. Its duration was extremely long, especially if we take into account that it was eliminated around the first half of the nineteenth century, more precisely on July 13, 1831, with the implementation of the Organic Regulation in Wallachia.We must mention that over time the monasteries in northern Oltenia, but others as well, were exempted or even collected large sums of money during this time (as long as there was this tax rate on wine).
