Cartographic Materials At The Exhibitions - An Example Of Stjepan Glavač Map Of Croatia

The exhibition titled “The map of Croatia made by Stjepan Glavač” was held on 16th September 2021 at Croatian State Archives in Zagreb and organized by the Metropolitan Library of the Archdiocese of Zagreb and the Croatian State Archives. This exhibition was arranged on the occasion of completion of conservation-restoration activities of the oldest map of Croatia from 1673, made by the famous Jesuit Stjepan Glavač. He is among the first Croatian cartographers from the 17th century who, acting under the strong influence of the European science and culture, strongly promoted Croatian national interests. Glavač, apart from contributing to geographical information about Croatia, he also contributed to dissemination of the historical truth about Croatia and the development of the awareness and the need for the integration of the Croatian lands. The aim of conservation-restoration activities was to prepare this map to be exhibited at exhibitions, to design and make protective case which will be used for the exhibitions, to set up exhibition conditions, to make a replica and to research all aspects of this map, such as historical, cartographic, geographical, librarian, material and conservation-restoration. The exhibition presented all aspects of the map research and the conservation-restoration activities. The map itself was equipped with the exhibition equipment which allows the full view of the map without the possibility of the damage in the way that it is exposed, under the angle of 30° with the protective transparent foil. Beside the original, the replica of the map was also exposed, which later replaced the original at the exhibition, since the original was exposed only for a short period of time because of its fragility.
