Memories proof that every past moment started as today are incorporated into the idea of history that the past is materialised in some way and for this reason it often calls upon documents that can ...be virtual, but are more compelling and more real if we can present them as artefacts. A story about a halberd can be gripping if told through the skilled pen of an expert, but the impression of a halberd
and its use in war will be all the more convincing if this weapon is presented to you as an actual object and proof of a materialised past. In a time when the present is poor with respect to recognised
values, when we are witnesses to a situation where we change our furniture several times during our lifetime, when the “lifespan” of, for example, a car or a television set is barely ten years, and when most home appliances barely survive after seven years, when school textbooks become “redundant” after one year, when we are conscious of the fact that many plants and insects that were common in our childhood have now become rare indeed, the idea of longevity or temporal nature of things obviously promotes our concern that the relationships of duration or keeping should be brought into harmony. We have mentioned the speed of the process of obsolescence, and if we remind ourselves that even production promotes the idea of a limited duration, it is clear that the present is becoming all
the more brief and all the more fragmented. The tendency to introduce domestic animals to zoos so that today’s children can see them “live” is not a bizarre extravagance but a reß ection of the true
state of affairs.
The title of the symposium “Museums and literature” focuses the theme of the heritage of authors to museums, while at the same time leaving unresolved the question of the relationship between
museums ...and the heritage (not only manuscripts) of authors with the dilemma “Museums and literature” and/or Museums of literature”. This view is also a challenge to other disciplines that deal with
the heritage in the broadest sense (archives specialists, librarians and historians of literature). From a broader point of view, this symposium is a challenge and opens up the question of whether
an author’s legacy should be viewed as an object of museum activity or whether to take a broader view, with respect to archives, libraries and the history of literature and institutions that deal with
these disciplines. It is interesting to note that there are two international committees that deal with the legacy of authors: the International Committee for Literary Museums and the Section on
Literature and Art Archives - SLA. Both of the se bodies have similar tasks. The International Committee for Literary Museums task is “research, publication, exhibition and education aimed at
historical and biographical literary museums and museums of composers”, while the SLA’s task is “to encourage the study and research concerning the management of literary archives and to
promote the exchange of views and experiences in this field”.
Librarians join together with these two disciplines because in recent time whole departments of national and university libraries are called literary archives. Along with those three professions
(museum, archives and libraries) “the manuscript heritage of literary authors” is the subject of research on the part of historians of literature, so that in places (like in Croatia) there are institutes
that collect manuscripts in order to study the manuscript heritage and prepare critical publications. Finally, there are tendencies to create, along with the collection, preservation and treatment of the
manuscript heritage of cultural authors, interdisciplinary scholarly institutes for the presentation and study of the ideas and work of authors, artists and philosophers. The approach to the “literary heritage” (not only in manuscript form) and the delineation of the
sphere of activity of each of the disciplines is a challenge for theoretical thinking and has practical implications concerning the collection, preservation, presentation and study of works and writings of literary authors in the sense of their being works belonging to the cultural heritage. The paper gives an insight into contemporary trends in the world (in museums, libraries and archives) with respect to the treatment and presentation of
the literary heritage (as well as the heritage of other authors in the field of culture and thinking: composers, artists, architects, philosophers). There is a historical overview concerning the collection, treatment and presentation of the literary heritage in Croatia, and in this context there is mention of the problems linked with the policy of acquisitions and the norms of documenting and
describing material in literary archives. Stress is placed on the role of museums in the presentation of writers (memorial museums) and the institutional framework of literary archives as individual institutions or as departments within national and university libraries and state archives.

Domoznanska dejavnost se je dolga leta izvajala v okviru Študijskega oddelka, od leta 1994 se izvaja v samostojnem Domoznanskem oddelku. Domoznanska zbirka ptujske knjižnice sodi med dragocenejše v slovenskih splošnih knjižnicah.
