Digitalizacija arheološke terenske dokumentacije Arheološkog muzeja u Zagrebu

Archaeological research most often results in large quantities of material in the form of text, photographs and drawings. These materials have, up to recently, not been available in digital form, and contain key information on the location of sites, determined archaeological constructions and mobile archaeological findings. As this kind of material is highly susceptible to degradation and ruin, ensuring the protection of archaeological field documentation should be the mail goal of every institution that is in charge of its storage and archiving. Digitalisation procedures allow for the long-term achievement of such goals, as they provide the guarantee that archaeological field documentation, as an important segment of archaeological heritage, will remain preserved and available for a longer period of time. Likewise, it provides easier access to digitalised content, the possibility of connecting this content with other forms of digital information and the opportunity to utilise it in different manners, all in accordance with the current possibilities and the future development of science and technology. However, the storage of the greater part of such materials is not provided for by standard museum holdings and digital archives, which represents a challenging obstacle to achieving its long-term preservation and accessibility to professional and scientific processing. Therefore the purpose of the proposed procedure is to create a clear model for the digitalisation of materials collected through field research and to organise it into a coherent database, i.e. a digital archive organised in accordance with contemporary approaches to archaeological and digital data.
