Care of architectural archival material

The work on a great number of research projects began from the very establishment of the Institute of Architecture and Urban & Spatial Planning of Serbia (IAUS) as an independent scientific research organization. On the basis of an insight into the archival materials, this paper will present the first seven Scientific Research Papers (SRP). This paper will give the basic data for each SRP project (title of the theme, names of authors of the project and their collaborators, project orderer, research project duration), titles of papers published in journals, titles of monographs with the scientific projects results and the list of archival numbers of boxes containing the existing documentation.

У статті аналізуються приклади вибору методів збереження архітектурних пам’яток: реставрації та консервації, а також їхніх окремих реалізацій: тривалої руїни, факсимільної реконструкції, архітектурної інтерполяції та інших. Показано, що консервація пам’ятки у вигляді тривалої руїни має недоліки і не завжди виправдовує очікування, які покладаються на цей метод. Наголошено на неоднозначності понять, якими нині послуговуються під час дискусій щодо відновлення пам’яток.

The digitalization of the Architecture Archive at the Institute of Art Studies is a special moment of radical change in the material of the documents, which brings research methods different from the traditional characteristics of archival data and, above all, the expectation of new knowledge. In my close contact with the archives I look both back and forward in order to rethink the Architecture Archive and reach a new grasp of and attitude to its meaning. In the article, on the one hand, I undertake an overview of the collected archival units in the chronological order of their acquisition and and also according to the structure established by the archive’s original creators and, on the other hand, I present in perspective a thesis about the archive’s future in the development of personal archival collections. The aim of the study is to define an approach to the digitalization of the Architecture Archive so that it could meet modern standards and concepts regarding the digitalization of archives. Theoretical but also scientific-applied issues of the archive have been considered, the general discourse of which was born within the context of the project activities, called “Cultural Heritage in the Archives of the Institute of Art Studies: Interactive Map of the Arts in Bulgaria”. In the article I emphasize the importance of the fact that this project gets funded through the agencies for regional development of the European Union and is thus positioned within the cultural paradigm of “Europe”. Last but not least, I believe that the article in terms of giving an overview is something of an invitation and initial reference point for conducting new research through the digital database of the Architecture Archive, which is currently underway.

Based on the normative and methodological basis of the research topic, the author of the article offers a classification of domestic scientific works in the field of preservation and restoration of archival documents within four groups: works on ensuring the modes of document storage, stabilization, restoration, and production of copies. The article notes that the works of the first group are most represented by articles in specialized scientific journals. The works of the other three groups are represented by monographs of well-known researchers in the field of documentation and archival science. In general, the analysis of scientific works revealed the problem of the lack of comprehensive work on the issues of preservation and restoration of documents. This circumstance, according to the author, is due to the week regulatory and methodological base of the topic under consideration: today, the issues of preservation of archival documents must be considered, relying on legislation in the field of ensuring the safety of documents, supplementing it with regulatory documents. Аннотация Опираясь на нормативно-методическую базу темы исследования, автор статьи предлагает классификацию отечественных научных работ в области консервации и реставрации архивных документов в рамках четырех групп: труды по обеспечению режимов хранения документов, стабилизации, реставрации и изготовлению копий. В статье отмечается, что работы первой группы наиболее представлены статьями в специализированных научных журналах. Работы остальных трёх групп представлены монографиями известных исследователей в области документоведения и архивного дела. В целом анализ научных трудов выявил проблему отсутствия комплексных работ по вопросам консервации и реставрации документов. Данное обстоятельство, по мнению автора, связано со слабой нормативно-правовой и методической базой рассматриваемой темы: сегодня вопросы консервации архивных документов приходиться рассматривать, опираясь на законодательство в области обеспечения сохранности документов, дополняя его нормативными документами в области консервации библиотечных фондов. Возможно, именно слабость законодательной и нормативно-правовой базы консервации архивных документов приводит к тому, что, понятие «консервация документов» многими специалистами, сотрудниками архивов сводится лишь к понятию «обеспечение сохранности документов».

The principles of working with archaeological materials within museum institutions have been reinterpreted in the works of specialists from different countries in the recent decades. The development of archeology as a science, the methodology of museum work and scientific thought in general allow to reveal the informational potential of archaeological collections more deeply and use it to form the visitors’ current knowledge about the past, critical thinking, as well as conscious attitude to cultural and archaeological heritage. The analysis of modern approaches to the interaction of museums with archaeological materials and their adapted integration into the practice of the Ukrainian museum institutions of the corresponding direction can significantly expand the possibilities of the latter in the context of the implementation of scientific and educational goals

The Ukrainian state is a country with centuries-old history, on her walks of life unique sights of architectural inheritance are kept. Prykarpattya counts 3944 sights of cultural heritage, from what 1443 are the objects of sights of architecture, 90 sights are the objects of national value, other 1353 are local. Two monuments of sacred architecture are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List: the Church of the Holy Spirit in 1598 in Rohatyn and the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1808 in the village of Nyzhnii Verbizh, Kolomyia district. The basis of the development of the state is the preservation of cultural heritage, because it is a kind of engine of socio-cultural development of each nation. Preservation can be carried out by protecting, including material elements in modern urban planning, maintaining and monitoring the state of preservation and functioning of the cultural heritage object. The material part of the architectural heritage includes: urban p...

Georgia is a country rich of historical and cultural monuments; consequently, conservation and restoration of monuments require special attention and approaches. To successfully carry out and implement conservation, it is extremely important to elaborate a proper method. This issue becomes even more topical when we have to deal with construction materials to be treated with chemical reagents. The major part of archaeological and architectural monuments existing in Georgia is built of stone. Therefore, it is important to concentrate our attention on conservation of construction and facing stones, especially on chemical conservation. Chemical conservation is an operation, which implies treatment of damaged surfaces with special chemical substances; it is applied when original construction material is so weathered that it may lead to complete destruction. Special laboratory studies are required to study the process of destruction of stone and its chemical conservation. The task can be resolved through scientific researches only. The process of conservation of a monument of cultural heritage starts with its planning. It is widely known that improperly planned and applied conservation may lead to even more serious destruction then it was before the conservation started. Before starting works directly on the monument site, the monument needs all-round studies and diagnostics, photo- and graphic fixing. As a rule, in the update, international practice of restoration any team selected for restoration works should include an architect-restorer, civil engineer, arts historian, seismologist, geologist, chemist, biologist and specialist of construction materials. When selecting specific substances (solutions) for conservation, it is required to define climatic and physical conditions, under which the monument currently exists, and the function of the monument upon completion of conservation. Conservation of buildings and architectural details of stone is carried through following the strictly defined methodological sequence. The method and sequence are elaborated, repeatedly tested and introduced into practice by international organizations dealing with restoration. The above-mentioned works imply steps as follows: 1. Petrographic - mineralogical analysis of stone. 2. Analysis of original mortar and plaster. 3. Diagnosis of stone or stone corrosion analysis. To correctly diagnose a case, it is necessary to study the reasons of damage. 4. Analysis of later interference; studies to state whether the monument was subjected to chemical treatment earlier; and, if it is the case, what type of chemicals have been applied; is it possible to remove the mixture or not; and, if possible, what are the means to do so. 5. Laboratory testing of stone samples. These tests enable to state the indexes as: porosity of stone, water-absorbability, salt-resistance, capillary absorption, material contraction, air-and steam-conductivity, compression steadiness, saturation coefficient etc. First, a corroded stone is tested, then a sound stone and in the end samples of damaged stone, having saturated them with conservation solutions first. 6. Cleaning of monument surface removing mechanical dirt and herbs. 7. Start of conservation of the existing condition of the monument. All the conservation matters should be selected and tested by then. Technological methods differ; their choice depends on the size of the object to be treated, relief of the surface, easiness of access for a restorer etc. Besides, it is important to provide a lasting contiguity for a surface subjected to treatment and a solution selected for conservation. For this purpose, methods are as follows: complete or partial sinking into a bath, multifold sprinkling by a special pulverizer, soaking with chemical solutions applying compresses and applications, pouring solution on top of an object, injections, pumping, entering matters using brushes etc. 8. Works to replace stones and restoration of broken or missing fragments with conservation mass (so called, artificial stone). 9. Final treatment of surface - hydrophobization, i.e. surface treatment with solutions protecting from water (note: conservation matters frequently contain hydrophobizators). And, surface treatment against bio-damages preventing reproduction of mosses and other herbs. Archaeological monuments represented by stone material require exactly the same method of conservation. It is reasonable to carry out conservation of stone material immediately upon excavation as to protect them from solar and atmospheric impact, preventing impending danger of their destruction. An alternative method is to cover them with soil again. Making use of international standards Georgian restorer-technologists have studied and diagnosed stone samples (some of them have been chemically treated) of the monuments as, Jvari in Mtskheta, complexes Uplistsikhe, Vardzia, David Gareji, Atskouri cathedral, Bolnissi Sioni, Tsromi, ancient settlement Vani and etc.

The issue of integrity of archaeological collections is one of the most significant problems associated with the preservation of information resources and source potential of an archaeological site after the completion of archaeological studies. An archaeological collection which remains the only material evidence and an information imprint of an archaeological site is usually subject to changes in the process of it adapting to the conditions of museum storage, specific features of museum practice, and the mission of the museum. At the same time, due to the fact that the connection between the objects of an archaeological collection, the field and museum documentation can be lost, it is possible to partially or completely violate the integrity of the archaeological collection, which may result in the loss of the archaeological object in terms of its information and source characteristics and attributes. In fact, after the actual destruction of an archaeological site, this leads to destruction of the information field. Perhaps, the solution that will decelerate these processes consists in the development and establishment of a system of accounting, which involves a special approach to archaeological collections as museum collections with unique characteristics.
