발굴유물의 효율적 관리와 장기미발간보고서의 발간 전략－영남대학교박물관의 사례－

Abstract

The museum to which I belong continues to publish the long-term unpublished reports about some relics investigated in the 1970s and 1980s. Since it is required to proceed with a minimal budget, the top priority is given to the reduction in expenses. Thus, the professional research personnel are assigned to this project and we try to make full use of the national manpower support project. In addition, the project is effectively operated as long as it does not conflict with other projects. Manpower (students who receive a national work-study scholarship) being operated at schools are fully used. At the same time, we try to produce high-quality reports in close collaboration with external researchers and professional photographers. We also make efforts to invite researchers participating in the excavation to the seminar. We could reduce some expenses including photograph fees and publication fees by showing some relics in the special exhibitions held by museums including our museum. For efficient and stable management of relics, most of relics excluding some which can be highly used for research and exhibitions are transferred to the national organization. The relics in our museum are not only efficiently used through permanent or special exhibitions, but are also actively utilized to be lent or reproduced in order to allow external researchers/institutes to participate in the research. We introduce our relics through local media on a regular basis and operate life-long education programs which help other people get interested in our local cultural assets with supports from relevant departments in local government. In addition, we conduct analysis and research on natural relics including human and animal remains which have been excavated and stored in collaboration with domestic and international research institutes. We are discussing with relevant organizations to exhibit research materials and to share better achievements.
