Conceptualization of Archival Material held in Museum: a pilot study

Archival material held in museums is often described using museum practices. The main hypothesis of this paper is that the decision about how a certain material object should be described depends on the curator’s understanding of what is archival and what is museum material. As result, non-uniform descriptive metadata is created, causing difficulties in accessibility, especially for end-user searching. This paper focuses on documentary material on paper as primary medium.
