Sažetak
This paper addresses a cluster of questions relating to visitors’ perceptions of archival materials, specifically re-cords, when they are displayed in museum exhibitions in either their original form of creation or in surrogate form: What kind of interest do these records induce and how is it manifested? Do visitors have an emotional response to them? To what extent can a user’s physical interaction with a record be replaced or complemented by a digital one? The paper presents and discusses the results of a pilot study, “Records as Museum Artefacts, ” that used mixed methods and techniques, including a focus group, visitor surveys and focused observation of visitors. The results suggest that those designing exhibitions should be more attentive, when incorporating records, to how they might both emphasize the materiality of those records and create possibilities for the visitor to achieve an additional meaningful experience by including digital surrogates.
