Povezave med tradicionalno in digitalno arhivsko teorijo in prakso: preteklost, sedanjost in prihodnost arhivskega gradiva kot (ne)obstojnega kemičnega gradiva – umazanija, vlaga, temperatura v lovu na arhivsko gradivo

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to show how important it is to take care of the material protection and preservation of archival material. Method/approach: We used an old Native American legend as a didactic tool to understand the effect of dirt, humidity and high temperature on the deterioration of film archival material. We compared the contributions of various authors and experts in the field of material protection of film material, reviewed reports and carried out research. We conducted an interview with an employee of the televi sion archive. Results: We added parables to the story about the bear hunt in the far north. The bear represents archival material, and the hunters represent dirt, humidity, and high temperature. Archival material is better protected in a clean, cool, and dry environment. In the education of archivists, we can help each other with stories that help to explain the problem of safe film storage more easily. Conclusions/findings: Once we understand the storage problem, we always know how to handle the material. The stories are a good didactic tool for easier understanding of the safe storage of film material. They also help us explain the threats to archives from global warming and environmental change. By digitizing the material, we ensured a safer storage of the originals and easier access to the material. We must also ensure the safe storage of the originals.
