Full textAbstract:
The Victoria and Albert Museum, itself an archive of material culture, houses several collections of archival records. The Museum’s Registered Papers are divided between the Museum itself, which holds those papers relating to objects in the Museum, and the Public Record Office, where papers relating to Museum buildings and administration can be found; all papers produced since 1984 are to be housed together in a newly established V & A Archive. The quality of the archive of Registered Papers is uneven due to the lack of a controlling and unifying policy; this, and questions of conservation and administration, are being addressed as part of the current restructuring of the Museum. For the same reason the archives of the different Departments, though important, vary considerably not only in content but also in their organisation. The National Art Library, part of the V & A, includes archival collections of ephemera, comprising examples of printing and graphic design, and of manuscripts, including artists’ papers; it also includes the Archive of Art and Design, founded in 1978 to avoid the splitting up of significant archives between the Museum’s Departments.

The archive is a time machine that actively creates ways of accessing individual or collective experiences. Digital archives, in particular, such as the Web Museum anticipate an open and free access to memories even though they are not merely a representation of events but a field in which we can surpass the informativity of events in order to strengthen our experience of the (unlived) past and also the future. We are not building it to remember or understand the past but to think the future. The archive should be guided by the logic of distribution not the logic of accumulation.

Full textAbstract:
The Andijan earthquake of 1902, as the brightest and most catastrophic seismic event of the early 20th century, has been studied for 120 years. Discovered in D.N. Anuchin’s photo archive (the Earth Science Museum of Moscow State University), a series of photo studies (and accompanying information for them) made by the famous researcher S.A. Melik-Sarkisyan immediately after the Andijan disaster, can be considered as the most complete, authentic and objective visual series of primary photographic documentation of the consequences of the earthquake. High-quality photographs capture urban buildings of residential (both Russian and native types), religious, military, transport and other purposes, changes in their structures and destruction are traced in detail. More negative consequences of the earthquake are noted for residential buildings in the «native» part of the city, destroyed almost to the ground due to poor-quality building materials and design flaws.

As a publicity slogan, this ranks amongst the best: short, to the point and accurate! On 31 May 2007 the flagship development of Shetland's Museum and Archive received its royal opening. Appropriately enough, Her Majesty the Queen of Norway takes primacy over Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, not only following protocol in such matters, but reflecting Shetland's close links with their Scandinavian neighbours. Located on the last remaining area of original 19th century dock in Lerwick, the capital of Shetland, this energetic new building with sail-shaped extension, sits comfortably adjacent to the red painted and timber buildings which are more reminiscent of Faroese architecture than those found elsewhere in the British Isles. Incorporating also old boat sheds which will enable visitors to see the boatmen as they restore the traditional boats, many of which reflect original Norse forms, this development is both high quality and award-winning for its sustainable architecture. The culmination of eight years of planning, and funded by a consortium of Heritage Lottery, Shetland Islands Council and Shetland Amenity Trust funds in excess of 10 million pounds, the museum provides a heritage hub for visitors to the islands and locals alike.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the paper is to present the Museum of Vernacular Architecture of western Serbia and eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Documentation was collected by means of fieldwork and in historical archives. Part of the material was published in scientific journals. It is necessary to present the concept of the Museum, and each of the planned units. This paper presents a group with mountain dwellings and watermills. The first part is composed of several buildings that represent different types of structures. The structure, at the same time, shows the development of the building type. The group consists of two huts, two log cabins, the half-timbered building structure, a fenced garden, and a fenced haystack. The group with watermills consists of buildings on the stream, buildings in the middle flow of the rivers, and watermills of the lower flow of the river. Description of the structure, method of construction, and object function is given for each of the buildings.

Full textAbstract:
<p>The paper deals with an ongoing research activity for developing a Building Information Model (BIM) for the facility and collections management of museums. The BIM success lies not only in its application for the design and construction of buildings but also because it helps the information management of a building throughout its life cycle. Compared to other activities, in museums management, the container/content relationship is essential for the preventive conservation of artworks, according to national and international guidelines. Then, an effective BIM-based museum information system linked to external databases (called M-BIM) should include also the art collections for managing information regarding both the building and artworks by 3D objects handling. This facilitates the management of the procedures prescribed by international best practices (as the facility and conservation reports set up for the loan of artworks) or by Italian regulations (as to check the compliance of a museum with the minimum standards or to archive renovations and temporary exhibitions). The proposed methodology has been tested on the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze (Florence, Italy), situated in a complex heritage building. Starting from data acquired during a laser scanner survey carried out in 2011, a HBIM of the whole building has been created. Then, the sculptures and paintings of a consistent part of the museum have been modelled with different approaches and inserted as BIM objects. Artworks instances include 3D geometry and physical data (dimensions, materials, weight, etc.), other data are obtained from links to already existing external catalogues. A database conceptual model has been formalised, according to INSPIRE Consolidated Unified Modelling Language (UML) of the INSPIRE Directive, with the aim to maintain the independence of the BIM approach but improving data connection with other databases and sources.</p><p><strong>Highlights:</strong></p><ul><li><p>A holistic information management system for museums (M-BIM) is proposed, including both information on the building and the collections.</p></li><li><p>International and Italian guidelines, and best practices on museums management are compared.</p></li><li><p>The Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze is used as a case study for testing the application of M-BIM on a heritage building.</p></li></ul>

Āgenskalns Gymnastics and Sports Society was one of the largest and best-known Baltic-German sports organizations in the first half of the 20th century. Sports enthusiasts of various professions, including engineers, participated in the activities of this society. The house built by the Society in 1910 at 7 Baldones S treet, Riga, which has been rebuilt several times, played an important role in the sports life. The research presents comprehensive documentary evidence about the Society until the repatriation of the Baltic- Germans in 1939 and the history of its headquarters building. Using the documents and press materials from the Latvian State Historical Archive (LSHA) of the National Archives of Latvia (NAL), archive documents of the Riga Construction Board, as well as the collection of the Latvian Sports Museum, previously unknown facts have been revealed.

The study deals with uniform buttons in the collection of the Waldes Museum of Buttons and Fasteners in Prague-Vršovice, which was founded at the initiative of Prague industrialist and philanthropist Jindřich Waldes. Over the course of the museum’s existence, from 1916 to 1945, the collection came to include more than 350 uniform buttons. This study tries to capture the significance of the collection at the Waldes Museum, both as exhibits in themselves, and as study material connected with the museum’s publication work or the building of a specialised archive and library on the other. It also presents selected exhibits from the collection in question, together with other associated objects and specialised materials. The study draws on expert consideration of the preserved collection, original publications and materials from the Waldes Museum Archive and specialised literature.

Full textAbstract:
<p>This paper1 investigates the sources of representations on the communist period and the type of engagement with the past in an experiential museum, in the context of the National Network of Romanian Museums’ project for a laboratory-museum of Romanian Communism. Our analysis of focus-groups in October-November 2012 explores the public’s expectations in terms of museum experience and engagement with objects and the potential of an experiential museum to facilitate deliberation about the past. We use the conceptual framework of recent studies on postmemory (Hirsch, 2008) and prosthetic memory (Landsberg, 2004, 2009) to focus on ways of building the experiential archive needed to produce prosthetic memory. We consider that such an analysis is relevant for two interconnected problems: the bidirectional relationship between a projected museum of communism and a prospective public, and the methodological insights available for investigating this relation. With regard to the first problem, this paper makes a case for treating museums as a memory device rather than a lieu de memoire and analyses the role of the museum in relation to cultural memory. With regard to the second problem, it offers an example of conducting research on prospective publics which departs from traditional marketing approaches, adopting theoretical insights and analytical categories from specific conceptualizations in the field of memory studies.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Emerging from a socio-political urgency resultant from the current volatile situation of world politics, this article brings to the fore the age-old question of what an archive is. Spanning through the intellectual history of arkheion and the hegemonic structure of a daunting, cohesive building that reflects the ideologies of a singular authoritarian power that created it, this article explores the parallel structures of power that exist within the archival structure, at the same time rendering its structure and being rendered by it. The shift from the unidimensional power positions to this multiplicity of exchanges that make the archival structure fluid will be studied through certain eminent contemporary archival art practices. This article proposes a topology of the archive, as a departure from studying the archive as a location, a container. The archival art practices, in this schema, are neither an external element to the archive nor a separate practice gaining meaning in discourses, but an essential element in the horizons of what the archives enact in their multiplicity. In doing so, this article will strive towards an indeterminacy of the structure of the archive, where it functions neither as a mere integration of a determinate matter in the archive discourse nor as a domiciliation of the hitherto unknown or unacknowledged documents in a new container like a museum. Leaving the discourse-oriented and material-oriented path, the action of doing will be discussed as the determinate factor behind the existence of the archive. Hence, the search for the answer to the question initially introduced, what an archive is, may only be contemplated by focusing on how archives function, as the function will be explored further as the key to its creation and sustenance.

The archive "Immovable Cultural Assets" at the Regional History Museum - Sofia contains 1300 documentation folders of buildings, bridges and monuments located in the centеr of the city. Currently, all folders have their own digital copies - text in MS Word file and original old photos, mainly from the 70s and 80s of the last century, with corresponding image from current time. Plans and sketches of the surrounding landscape are attached as well. However, the focus of the digital unit is not on the architectural ensemble and urban planning, but for the historical reference for the person or event related to the particular monument. Through various methods of work, an attempt was made to preserve part of the history of the city - preserving its memory in digital format. Тhey consisted digitalization of the paper folder, collecting information in two various ways: at the libraries, archives and in the field - by describing and photographing the monument.

Full textAbstract:
When he ran for president in 2007 Nicolas Sarkozy promised to build a museum of French history. He declared that he was troubled by the lack of a coherent account of the nation’s great moments and great heroes. On being elected, he started the planning process, finally settling on the Hôtel de Soubise, part of the Archives nationales, as the site of the future Maison de l’histoire de France. Although his project was supported by a certain number of intellectuals, many university scholars, especially the historians, raised strong objections to a concept that returned to the old Third Republic civic history in the style of Ernest Lavisse. The future museum was to offer visitors old-fashioned narrative history of male achievements, with no account taken of new insights that women’s, gender, social, cultural, colonial and immigration history have added to any discussion of what France is or might be. It rejects the idea that there have been, and can be, many ways of being French. The critics of the museum project deplored the instrumentalisation of the nation’s past – one of several such presidential ventures – for short-term political gain. The strike of archive employees, which lasted for several months, scuttled that site as the future home of the history museum. The story is not finished. The discussion of the presidential museum initiative is placed in a larger context in which increased economic neo-liberalism, greater state interventions at home and overseas, and the propagation of a nostalgic-conservative vision of the nation’s past reinforce each other, even as they coexist in uneasy union.

Abstract. 2020 meant the loss of 41.5 million visitors for Italian museums, monuments and archaeological sites. The regions that drive tourism and the Italian museum paid the price in terms of visitors and income. In this context, virtual museums have been taking on new forms of interaction, communication and sharing of information, overshadowing traditional applications based on sharing collections through static images or simple panoramas. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) provide the end-user with more innovative learning with the latest technological advances and digital tools. Thanks to the integration of the latest 3D modelling and digital survey techniques with the Visual Programming Language (VPL) and eXteded Reality (XR) development platforms, the authors propose a scan-to-BIM-to-XR method based on different forms of architectural representation, digital survey (terrestrial and aerial) and building archaeology able to transmit the tangible and intangible values of the different types of architectural artefacts, from the large scale (building and its urban context), medium (art collections, sculptures, museum itineraries) up to the small scale (building archaeology) of one of the most important historical buildings in the city of Rome.

Full textAbstract:
The archival paper collections of the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, (University of Cambridge) have been the subject of recent cataloguing efforts (2010 - 2012). Within the Archive are 19 notebooks which formerly belonged to Edward B. Tawney (1840 - 1882). These span Tawney's early field investigations of the south-west of England, his work at the Museum in Bristol, and his time in Cambridge up until his death in 1882. Distinctive printed paper labels accompany Tawney's personal fossil collection, now also incorporated into the Sedgwick Museum. Furthermore, some rock slices (thin sections) prepared for Tawney have been identified. Their later treatment in the collection catalogues of the petrologist Alfred Harker provided information on the beginnings of the building of the Petrological Collection at Cambridge. This paper lists the holdings of Tawney's notebooks in the Archive, identifies fossil collections attributed to him and augments our scant knowledge of this important early geological curator.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The paper discusses the first outcomes of an ongoing research activity aimed at developing a general BIM-based methodology for the organization and the management of the information needed for maintenance and safety assessment of museums. The Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze (Florence, Italy) which has a very complex spatial organisation as a result of transformations occurred over the centuries, has been considered as an illustrative application of the proposed methodology. One of the specific elements which characterize museums, compared to other buildings, is the issue of the relationship between the building itself and the artworks there contained. A specific element of the research is consequently the need not to limit the attention to only the building (i.e. the envelope), but to consider within the BIM also the presence of the art collections. Starting from a recent laser scanner survey, a BIM has been created and a semi-automatic workflow has been investigated to obtain a FE (Finite Element) model to be employed for static and dynamic structural analysis purposes. Currently, since the scans inevitably included the artworks, a test is underway to add in the BIM of the museum also its collections (M-BIM). Each element can be inserted as a BIM object including its geometric representation and physical data (dimensions, materials, weight…) and linked to different museum inventory and conservation databases for the museum management.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Objective - This paper presents a conceptual framework of preserving archival heritage by considering on the sustainable development model. The World Heritage Convention recognizes heritage as 'monuments, groups of buildings and sites'. The archival heritage residing in archives, libraries, museum and art gallery constitute a major part of that memory and reflects the diversity of people, languages and cultures that need to be preserved. Methodology/Technique - Preservation management is one of the basic tasks or activities of all institutions that work in the area of preserving and managing heritage, and is therefore one of the basic authority and management tasks of every archive. Findings - Differences among institutions are primarily regarding the manner of processing, use and presentation to the public. Archivists, librarians and curators differentiate heritage primarily with regard to its content and the intended purpose associated with it. Novelty - The conceptual framework will discuss on the four major components of sustainable development, element of preservation management for cultural institution, issues and challenges faced on preservation of archival heritage. Type of Paper: Conceptual Keywords: Archival Heritage; Preservation Management; Sustainable Development.

This paper describes the method employed for the restoration of the Maison La Roche and the Villa E-1027 buildings, considered emblematic for modern French architecture. The radical atten- tion to material conservation was the main objective, supported by substantial research of the archives and minute analysis of the existing buildings, the results of which are reported. Maison La Roche became a museum compliant with the requirements of a public utility building. A discussion is given of the study and restoration of the murals by Le Corbusier conserved at Villa E-1027, which has not yet found a new function.

Full textAbstract:
This article traces the convoluted route by which Vladimir Dzhunkovskii's personal papers, originally deposited in Pushkinskii dom in the early 1920s, and his voluminous memoir, acquired by Vladimir Bonch-Bruevich for the State Literary Museum (GLM) in 1934, came to reside in what is now the State Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF). It also opens windows on little-known aspects of Dzhunkovskii's early life, examines his reasons for writing his memoirs, explores the question of his missing diary, and sheds light on Dzhunkovskii's contacts with Soviet authorities and his consultations for the OGPU. The article shows how Dzhunkovskii's papers, memoirs and persona became issues in the infamous Akademicheskoe delo in 1929 and figured in “museum politics” during the mid-1930s.

Full textAbstract:
Archiving historical photographic works in museums is not easy because an archiving staff does not only archive photos but also has to take care of, examine photo data, and present them to the public so that they become archives that are worth showing off. Researchers, together with archive staff, will categorize photos based on three categories, namely photos of colonial cultural history, the war of independence, and the period of nation building. In this case, the research aims to find out work patterns and what an archiving staff does, categorize photos, know virginity and archiving methods so that it is useful to add references to the breadth of the photography profession that will be conveyed to the public. Preservation of photographic works is also a form of long-term research that requires patience because of the very broad aspects of its work. Proper handling, storage, or reconstruction of historical photographic material requires special care, so this research is expected to provide a new discourse to the public regarding the breadth of the world of photographic work that is not limited to photographing skills.

Abstract Nestled in the historic district of the small Central Florida town of Bartow, the Old Polk County Courthouse (OPCC) served the citizens of Polk County from 1909 to 1987. Eventually replaced by a high-rise courthouse to accommodate population growth, the OPCC underwent major restorations between 1993 and 1996 and now serves as the Polk County History Center, which houses a historical museum and genealogical library. Due to its historical value within local and regional contexts, it was deemed important to archive the courthouse in a manner that can be utilized from a practical standpoint of preservation, operations, and maintenance and an academic standpoint for research of early 20th century buildings in the southeastern U.S. A research project has been done to use Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) technology to digitally preserve and reconstruct the OPCC building. The findings of this project can be implemented to help digitally document and recreate other historic structures. This paper presents the work flow and technologies that were utilized to capture data for developing HBIM models of the OPCC, including conventional field surveys, LiDAR scanning, photogrammetry, and 360-degree photography.

The threat of theft of works of art, antiques and books which are always being stolen from museums, galleries and archives in the Czech Republic, as well as abroad, remains present. Given the existence of the current stolen objects markets and the fact that artefacts keep their value which grows in time, theft will continue into the future. Thus, the security of museum collections and buildings is a pressing issue. It is, therefore, important to seek modern, secure and cheap solutions for the smaller museums in the Czech Republic. This paper describes the current state of security in the Czech Republic and proposes appropriate solutions of the problem of security in museums and galleries. The situation is very critical in some museum areas. Historic heritage is not sufficiently protected. The present study solves the analysis of the state of the historical heritage at present. The protection of the historical heritage is better than the Velvet Revolution. The article deals with the protection of monuments currently, analyzes the current security situation in museums in the Czech Republic and suggests a solution that would improve the future security of artefacts. Faculty of Logistics and Crisis Management prepares a workplace to help museums work with risks.

Few nonspecialists know that Belgium was the first continental European country to benefit and suffer from the Industrial Revolution. Resulting in part from this heritage and also building on an even older tradition of textile manufacturing dating back to the High Middle Ages, Belgium is home to a number of high-quality museums and institutions showcasing and researching the age of industry and its corresponding social movements. Two such organizations are the Archive and Museum of the Socialist Workers Movement (AMSAB) and the Museum of Industrial Archaeology and Textiles (MIAT) in the city of Ghent. On April 27–30, 1999, these two institutions joined forces to organize an international conference on “Gender and Class in the 20th Century.” For several days, participants from Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Great Britain, and Belgium gathered to listen and respond to a variety of presentations covering the whole range of issues related to the conference theme, from sexuality at the point of production to the discursive construction of poverty as female in the contemporary global age.

This article introduces an unpublished document concerning the water distribution network of the Topkapı Palace. Preserved in the Topkapı Palace Museum Archive, the undated document sheds light on not only the palace’s waterworks but also the locations and names of its earliest buildings. Clues suggest that it was written immediately after the 1509 earthquake. Its heading reads: “Description of the fountains and water jet fountains, some of which have been flowing since olden times and some of which were added later.” This oldest written source on the hydraulic landscape of the Topkapı Palace elucidates the original layout of the palace complex. It refers to the two architects responsible for this project as ʿAcem Miʿmar and Miʿmar Hamza, who are identified in this article as the chief architect who preceded Mimar Sinan, namely, Miʿmar ʿAlaʾüddin, nicknamed ʿAcem ʿAli (Persian ʿAli), and his son Hamza. The document is significant for understanding the water distribution networks and layout of the palace before a rebuilding campaign in the 1520s under this first chief architect of Sultan Süleyman.

On 5 August 1937, fulfilling the orders of the Chairman of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts (Reichskammer der bildenden Künste), a confiscation committee showed up at the City Museum in Stettin, and demanded to be presented by the Director of the institution the Museum’s collection in view of ‘degenerate art’. While ‘hunting’ for the Avant-garde and ‘purging museums’, the Nazis confiscated works that represented, e.g. Expressionism, Cubism, Bauhaus Constructivism, pieces manifesting the aesthetics of the New Objectivity, as well as other socially and politically ‘suspicious’ art works from the late Belle Époque, WWI, German Revolution of 1918–1919, or from Weimer Republic Modernism of the 1920s and 30s. The infamous Munich ‘Entartete Kunst’ Exhibition turned into a travelling propaganda display, presented in different variants at different venues. A three-week show (11 Jan.–5 Feb. 1939) was also held in Stettin, in the Landeshaus building (today housing the Municipality of Szczecin). Provenance studies: biographies of the existing works, often relocated, destroyed, or considered to have been lost, constitute an interesting input into the challenging chapter on German and European Avant-garde, Szczecin museology, and on Pomerania art collections. Side by side with the artists, it was museologists and art dealers who cocreated this Pomeranian history of art. The Szczecin State Archive contains a set of files related to ‘degenerate art’, revealing the mechanisms and the course of the ‘museum purge’ at the Stettin Stadtmuseum. The archival records of the National Museum in Szczecin feature fragments of inventory ledgers as well as books of acquisitions, which provide a particularly precious source of knowledge. The published catalogue of the works of ‘degenerate art’ from the Museum’s collections covering 1081 items has been created on the grounds of the above-mentioned archival records, for the first time juxtaposed, and cross-checked. The mutually matching traces of information from Polish and German archives constitute a good departure point for further more thorough studies.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a new inscription from Ephesos, one not discovered through recent excavation or survey, but rather through archival research in the papers of John Turtle Wood, the first excavator of the site. Wood discovered this inscription and several others during his excavations of the bouleuterion. The stone, a low statue-base inscribed with three short lines of text, is lost. It exists only as a sketch in one of Wood's letters archived in the British Museum. When taken in the context of the other inscriptions from the bouleuterion at Ephesos, this statue-base inscription suggests that an imperial statue-group stood in the building. It also may be added to the corpus of inscriptions concerning P. Vedius Antoninus III, the well-known benefactor of Ephesos. The first part of this paper discusses the discovery of the new inscription in the archive; the second part discusses its significance.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Preventive actions of cultural heritage continuously emerge in order to preserve the identity of the respective civilizations, retain its cultural significance and ensure its accessibility to present and future generations. 3D geomatics technologies along with UAV systems are widely used for documenting existing structures especially in difficult-to-access areas. In addition, Building Information Modelling (BIM) for cultural heritage gains ground towards the sustainable management, update and maintenance of the information. To this context, the current work generates a Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) model of the “Averof’s Museum of Neohellenic art” located in Metsovo, Greece, by using UAV photogrammetry techniques and additional information derived from the architecture designs of the buildings.</p>

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Museums perform various tasks such as collecting, cataloguing and preserving the cultural heritage (CH). In addition, they have an institutional task, which is to disseminate the heritage, discovering the most efficient tools to tell how a monument to the origin could have looked. In this process of knowledge and dissemination, digital technologies play an important role. In fact, they allow building a digital archive in which virtual copies of found objects are available to scholars for more or less in-depth analysis. Digital archives of this type also allow the dissemination of scientific data, constituting, if published, databases accessible everywhere. The role of the digital archive is also to preserve the characteristics of the finds, which are often already deteriorated, without worsening the situation through their continuous manipulation or movement. Of course, the construction of digital copies must be done in the most rigorous way so as to guarantee scholars the truthfulness of the data being analysed, and building procedures as standardized as possible to allow their use even by unskilled personnel. Moreover, museums have the very complex task of communicating the heritage, which envisages two steps: reconstruction and communication. The first phase, reconstruction, is a very complex operation, especially in the archaeological field, where there are few documents and the hypotheses are based on principles of similarity. Since no direct reference is available, the reconstruction takes place through comparison with similar objects from the same period, the same area and with the same function. Communication, then, has the task of disseminating the results and the hypotheses made, with the most appropriate tools. 3D printing allows to build three-dimensional models of reality, and therefore immediately comprehensible, even of complex forms, not always achievable with the traditional tools of modelling tools. This article describes this complex process, and its application to the funerary aediculae monument at the Museo Archeologico di Mantova, on the occasion of the refurbishment of the museum and its exhibits. In this experience, the use of new technologies is being investigated in combination with more traditional methods of representation, the maquette, but not less effective.</p>

The focus of this article is the work of photographer Gunnar Lundh, specifically the works collectively known as the statare photographs, images of rural contract labourers (or statare) that form part of a collection donated to the Nordic Museum in 1961. An overview of how these photographs have circulated in the Swedish public sphere indicates that three areas are particularly suitable for a targeted study of their use and reuse: i) social reportage, aimed at the miserable conditions facing these agricultural labourers in the emerging welfare state; ii) a biographical theme, in which the contract-labour photographs are part of a historical layer that repeatedly connects the author and opinion former Ivar Lo-Johansson with the ‘contract-labour photographer’ Lundh; and iii) how the older images remain a relevant element of a contemporary material cultural-heritage creation. In all of these examples, Lundh’s contract-labour photographs function as visual models through which it becomes possible to represent the contract labourers’ historical reality in books, buildings and interiors. However, they also constitute important components in the creation and perpetuation of what this article highlights as a distinctive set of intra-referential memory.

The manuscript as narrator in Icelandic children’s novel Bál tímans (2022) belongs to a literary tradition of sentient object narrators who document the domestic spaces in which they circulate. Bál tímans shifts the reader’s focus to normally invisible manuscript owners and users, including women and children, bringing attention to disparities in access created through archive-building activities. In domestic settings, Möðruvallabók is accessible to a broad segment of the Icelandic population through practices of social reading, women’s book ownership, and home education. In the archive, human-manuscript interactions are restricted to a narrow and initially male-only elite. While tensions between preservation and access are resolved when the codex is exhibited in a museum space where it can share its stories with a wider audience, Bál tímans examines what can be lost by bringing cultural objects into archival spaces.

The first document presented is Decision 7487 of December 21, 1922, signed by Prince Carol; this Decision, by appointing Professor Romulus Vuia as the institution’s director, recognizes all the achievements of the Commission that Professor Vuia had established in the spring of 1922 for the purchase of A. Orosz Collection, in order to set up an ethnographic museum in Cluj. The article presents the List of objects to be collected for the Ethnographic Museum; in this list the first attempt was made to specify the notion of ethnographic object and to establish the field of ethnography as an independent science. In the next part of the paper, there are some documents showing the contribution of the Royal Foundation and of the Ministry of Arts and Religious Affairs to supporting Professor Vuia in the creation and development of ethnographic museography by establishing modern systems of evidence, conservation and valorization of the museum heritage. At the end of the article, the author presents several documents regarding the two visits of King Carol II to the Museum, the first visit in 1930, with the Queen Mother, and the second in 1937, when the Museum was inaugurated in the City Park building; the author also presents two photos taken during the visit of King Michael and Queen Anne at the Museum in 2008.

František Palacký (1798–1876), a historian and politician, was one of the most eminent personalities of the Czech society of the 19th century. He died on 26 May 1876 in Prague and on 30 May 1876, in the evening before the burial, the Palacký’s head was dissected and his brain was extracted and preserved as a liquid preparation. Then, it was deposited in the Museum of the Kingdom of Bohemia (present National Museum) in Prague; currently it is stored in a jar concealed in a wall niche of a column (next to a large statue of Palacký) in the Pantheon hall of the historical building of the National Museum on the Wenceslaus square in Prague. The investigation of the Museum archive brought some documents which elucidate certain parts of the history of the Palacký’s brain preparation, although its whereabouts during other periods still remain hidden. For several years after its extraction, the Palacký’s brain was deposited in the Museum library, and between the years 1878–1899 (most probably in 1892 at the latest), it was handed over to the Department of Zoology of the Museum, where it remained until 1931. Next fate of the brain is uncertain until 1958, when it was installed in the wall niche in the Pantheon hall, where it remains till now (with an interruption in the last five years), but again under the responsibility of the Department of Zoology and Department of Anthropology, respectively.

AbstractThis project began with a deceptively simple question: “Were there runaway slaves in Indian Territory in the 1830 s and 40s?” The answer was complicated and relied upon the combined expertise of historians, archivists, curators, and collectors. This article describes how collaborative research, performed at the Helmerich Center for American Research at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, uncovered a long-neglected piece of history in Indian Territory. The collections, which contain diverse sources such as manuscripts written on parchment, archaeological artefacts, original art, and more recently, digitised documents, images, and videos, shape the way scholars answer their questions. Although scholarly research may appear to be an independent endeavour – the professor mining sources at a desk or writing alone on a computer – the reality, especially in the twenty-first century, is much different. What shows up on the page and, now, what results in a podcast, is rooted in a shared journey, beginning with an archivist or curator collecting and cataloguing materials and ending in cyberspace.

Abstract. This paper investigates the application of the Digital Twin approach to get a Sentient building able to acquire the ability to perceive external inputs and develop strategies to support its management and/or conservation. The experimentation foresees the integration of an H-BIM model with a Decision Support System based on Artificial Intelligence (in this case Machine Learning techniques) for the management of museum collections in historical architectures. The innovative aspect of this methodology resides in the change of paradigm regarding the relations between the historical building under consideration and the professional figures who deal with the management, conservation and architectural restoration. This work tries to contextualize the novel HS-BIM methodology within the theoretical discussion of the disciplines mentioned above and to participate in Digital Twin’s debate. HS-BIM can be seen as a possible path that leads to creating digital twins for cultural heritage. The reflection inspired by this experience aims to revise the concept of Digital Twin as a parallel/external digital model in favour of an artificial evolution of the real system augmented by a “cognitive” apparatus. In this vision, thanks to AI application, future buildings will be able to sense “comfort and pain” and learning from their own life-cycle experience but also from that one of elder sentient-buildings thanks to transfer learning already applied in AI’s fields.

Full textAbstract:
A numerical FE homogenization approach for the interpretation of existing crack patterns induced by founda-tion settlement on old masonry buildings is discussed. The approach is quite general and may be applied to any case study. It relies on a 3D FE discretization of the entire structure by means of rigid infinitely resistant six-noded wedge ele-ments and non-linear interfaces, exhibiting deterioration of the mechanical properties. Soil is modeled by means of elastic translational springs, with values derived from at hand simplified approaches. The case study analyzed is the so called “Siloteca” [1] building in Milan, Italy, which belongs to a more complex built ag-gregate, originally conceived by the French Napoleonic army as riding stable during the Cisalpina Republic. At present, the building is utilized as an archive within the Science and Technology Museum. The aggregate may be regarded as be-ing subdivided into two separate blocks, with each one further sub-divided into eight isolated buildings. Nowadays, only six stables of one of the blocks are still present. Two of the six structures now serve as a Museum deposit and are the ob-jects of the present study, whereas the other four are in worst condition, partially roofed and collapsed and in a general de-cayed state. Siloteca exhibits meaningful crack patterns and an active overturning mechanism of the main facade. The masonry face texture is relatively regular and well organized; its section is constituted of three leaves of header bricks, one leaf being alternatively constituted by one-half brick. A quite large sub-vertical crack is present in the central long wall, at a distance of about 10 meters from the main facade, which is progressively rocking. The reason of the façade movements at the base is probably due to differential settlements of the foundation, as a consequence of a large excavation realized some decades ago to install large gas oil tanks for the museum. In this paper, for a direct mechanical interpretation of the reasons at the base of the formation of the crack pattern, a sim-ple but effective fully equilibrated model is discussed, facilitating in the accurate prediction of the position of the cracks. The model is also utilized to estimate soil elastic vertical stiffness –within a Winker approximation- to be used in a second phase with the fully non-linear FE code. Once the soil constants are at disposal from such a procedure, a homogenized non-linear FE code recently proposed by the second author [2, 3] is utilized to have an insight into the state of mechanical degradation of the structure. A hypothesis on foundation settlement is provided to justify the crack maps exhibited by the structure.

Instead, a rancourous public debate ensued that threatened to cancel the project. That debate centred on government’s choice of an eighteenth century fort site for the new building. This article reviews the genesis of the project which caused the public dispute and traces the discussion as the contest for the building site unfolded. The Rooms controversy, and the events which eventually brought it to a close, powerfully illustrate the importance of public consultation to government decision-making in heritage matters. The debate vividly demonstrates how different interest groups claim authoritative voice around issues of heritage preservation and interpretation.

The monitoring and control of thermo-hygrometric indoor conditions is necessary for an adequate preservation of cultural heritage. The European standard EN 15757:2010 specifies a procedure for determining if seasonal patterns of relative humidity (RH) and temperature are adequate for the long-term preservation of hygroscopic materials on display at museums, archives, libraries or heritage buildings. This procedure is based on the characterization of the seasonal patterns and the calculation of certain control limits, so that it is possible to assess whether certain changes in the microclimate can be harmful for the preventive conservation of artworks, which would lead to the implementation of corrective actions. In order to discuss the application of this standard, 27 autonomous data-loggers were located in different points at the Archaeological Museum of l’Almoina (Valencia). The HVAC system (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) at the museum tries to reach certain homogeneous environment, which becomes a challenge because parts of the ruins are covered by a skylight that produces a greenhouse effect in summer, resulting in severe thermo-hygrometric gradients. Based on the analysis of temperatures recorded during 16 months, the air conditions in this museum are discussed according to the standard EN 15757:2010, and some corrective measures are proposed to improve the conservation conditions. Although this standard is basically intended for data recorded from a single sensor, an alternative approach proposed in this work is to find zones inside the museum with a homogeneous microclimate and to discuss next the average values collected in each area. A methodology is presented to optimize the application of this standard in places with a complex microclimate like this case, when multiple sensors are located at different positions.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents architectural history of the building of the Moscow English Club, located in the center of Moscow on Tverskaya Street using the methods of three-dimensional modeling. The object of study is an object of cultural heritage, which during its history used to be a city estate, a noble club and now is a museum. Features of its location, historical events, socio-cultural context and change of purpose have influenced both the external design of the building and its internal structure. The author identifies and analyzes causes of changes in the architecture of the building, summarizes information from archival sources, identifies inaccuracies and contradictions that are found in documents. Based on materials from the funds of the Schusev State Museum of Architecture, the Central State Archive of Moscow and published sources, the author systematized the architectural history of the building and information about its owners. The data on the reconstruction of the building, based on the comparison of drawings and explanations to them, applications and projects, sketches and site plans, were shown in the scheme. For 3D visualization in 3Ds max six time periods were chosen: 1830s, 1875, 1883, 1896, 1912, 1940s. Agisoft PhotoScan and Adobe Photoshop were also used in the work.
