History of museums as a specific historiographical field
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
This study looks at the history of museums as a specific historiographical field. It first gives an overview of the various types of publication outputs one can find in this field. These include collection guides, magazine and proceedings studies, and monographs. Studies and proceedings in particular are shown to be practical solutions to the very complex mapping of museum history. Monographs can be of various types – publications about museum buildings are often highly visually impressive, while another type of monographs looks at museum collections, and yet another can be considered the pinnacle of museum historiography, as such monographs provide a comprehensive understanding of museums as organisational and administrative units. Papers already published are an important source for a study of museums, while in contrast there are relatively few texts based on primary archived sources. A detailed investigation of previous publications demonstrates that museum history is focused on and researched always upon the occasion of major jubilees of these institutions, and that this is practically solely the domain of museum employees.
