DIGITIZATION PROCESS IN BELGRADE CITY MUSEUM

First phase of digitization in museum collections:

• Database forming was started in Belgrade City Museum in 1990. At the beginning we’ve used program pacage ISIS 2.3 distributed by UNESKO. Two of museum collections were completely implemented in this program (Antic archaeology-AA with 4867 objects and Historical collection- SGI2 with 9594 objects).

• In December of 2003. all data was implemented in CDS ISIS for Windows 1.5. Work was continued with four more museum collections, almost 30.000 objects. Between 2004. und 2006. we made the list of all museum collections (about 100.000 objects) in ACCESS program.

• Library Inventory books (7 books) were transferred to microfilm and digitized.

• Digital catalog of Museum library fund (over 20.000 objects) have been made.

DIGITIZATION TODAY

• Since 2008. Belgrade City Museum has been working on Unique Database Project, that will include all museum collections, over 128.000 objects. It consist of 8 subsystems: Acquisition, Inventory 1, Inventory 2, Photodocumentation, Archives, Placement, Conservation, Publishing.

• Until now, 20% of museum material have been digitized, but not uniformly. Some collection are completly digitized (for exemple SGI2 with 9594 objects). In case of 3D objects, photos are made with digital cameras, from different angles.

MUSEUM ARHIVES

• Since 1950s in Belgrade City Museum has had Museum archives . It contains arhives of museum exibitions and other manifestation- promotions, workshops, etc.

• Files were formed for every event, and they were grouped in folders.

• Material in every file can be very different: invitations for the opening ceremony or other invitations, photos of opening and exhibition, newspapers texts, catalogs, texts of exhibition conception, contracts, different lists, posters, etc.

DIGITIZATION OF АRHIVES

• In 2009. digitization of arhives was started.

• We’ve digitized, until now, around 50% arhives.

• We’ve used skeners A3 and A4 and computer program Photoshop. Material was scanned in RGB colour mode, 300 dpi and saved in JPEG format, except posters that were saved also in TIFF format.

• Than digital files and folders were made, as if they had been made from original material.

IMPLEMENTATION IN DATABASE

• In 2010. subsystem named Archives was added to Museum database. The aim was to join this type of material.

• Every file can be joined as well as every skan. However, some scans became to small and useless, practically invisible (for example newspaper texts).

• Usefull scans are those made from photos of openings or exhibitions, or posters.
