- Archival history:
- The photo and negative fond of the State Museum of Ethnography began to be formed in the 1890s, virtually from the moment the Russian Museum was established. At present the fond of the Russian Museum of Ethnography’s photo archive (the photo collection) includes approximately 180,000 storage units. It consists of photographs taken by museum staff during expeditions, as well as photographs acquired from private individuals and various organizations. The main criterion for the formation of particular collections is the belonging of the photographs in question to a particular collection creator. This is why photos in a given collection may be devoted to different subjects, reflect different ethnic cultures, and have been taken at different times. In cases in which photos have been acquired from collection creators secondarily, a new collection is formed with corresponding numbering. At the same time, in cases in which a large quantity of photographs that can be grouped by ethnic provenance have been received from a collection creator at once, standalone collections are organized. Within collections, photographs have consecutive numbering, the sequence of which has to do with ethnicity and subject (if the photographs feature several ethnic groups, then for each of these, photos are grouped by subject), or by subject only (if the collection’s materials pertain to only one ethnic group). A given photo collection’s sequence number depends on the overall number of exhibit items (and of collections thereof) received by the museum, including material items, insofar as the Russian Museum of Ethnography considers photographs to have the same status as any other ethnographic item.
