Sažetak
The Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb holds an interesting collection of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century photographs donated by the heirs of a great Croatian painter, Bela Csikos Sesia (1864-1931). A substantial part of this collection consists of photographs made by the painter himself as references for his paintings. In institutions oriented to more traditional artistic media photography is sometimes destined to play a secondary or auxiliary role, and the curators, not experienced in working with photographic materials, face many difficulties in researching and protecting the material. The aim of this paper is to present the results of one year of research work in organising, studying, identifying, describing and cataloguing the photographs. It also presents a strategy for the digitisation of the collection as a means of preserving this important part of Croatian cultural heritage.
