ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ
МУЗЕЙНЫХ ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫХ
СИСТЕМ В РОССИИ
What’s on?
 81 000 000 Museum items under the
Government control
 18 years on development (and fail) of United
State Museum Catalogue
 2 main museum automation systems cover ~
1000 museums (from ¼ to 1/3 of all
museums)
 There are NO standard of Museum object
description (LIDO implementation is in
concept)
Russian Museum automation
systems
 KAMIS («Complex Automation Museum
Information System», St. Petersburg)
 MUSEUM-3 (Computing Center for Ministry of
Culture, Moscow)
Computer cataloging of museum records is still
incomplete
Museums and e-mail
 There are 2553 museums under the Ministry
of Culture of Russian Federation
 Statistically, only 88 (3,91%) museums
registered their e-mails (of course, most
museums have)
 No open data about Internet connection (in
fact, most museums have)
Source: official open data http://mkrf.ru/opendata/7705851331-museum_1
Since 1996
 The museum.ru web site is running (private
initiative in cooperation with Moscow Darwin
Museum)
 More than 3000 museums registered
 Each museum has their own home page and
e-mail
Russian home page of www.museum.ru
English home page of www.museum.ru
Museums of Karelia – one of the first intermuseum web projects, 1999, still alive
http://www.museums.karelia.ru/
The Ugra Museums (Khanty-Mansy Region) http://www.hmao-museums.ru/ 2012
The Leningrad Region museums http://lenoblmus.ru/ 2013
Museum web sites
have
 All big Government museums
 Most of private museums
Still don’t have or have old style web pages
 Most of small museums
the smaller is the museum, the less information
is available in English and other languages
Web-access to collections
 Provided by KAMIS web-interface module
 The first (and one of few) museum with 100%
collection available in the web is Rybinsk
Museum (Yaroslavl Region)
 Some regions (Karelia, Leningrad Region,
Khanty-Mansiysk) have regional intermuseums web sites with joined Collection
and Agenda access
 Poor representation of collections in worldwide resourses (Europeana)
The web interface to museum collection Rybinsk museum (2000 to 2012)
The web interface to museum collection Rybinsk museum (since 2012)
provided by KAMIS-Web Module

Museum-3 Web interface module. 2002-2003
Virtual tours
 Popular and often-used technic for museum
web sites
 Non-expensive and sometimes attractive
 Recognised by Government as a “virtual
museum”
 Poor of information, just view
