CESik

CES (Centrální evidence sbírek / Central Registry of Collections)

Framework for ministerial registration of all meaningful collections of museum character in the Czech Republic according to Collection Act 122/2000. Software equipment made by CITeM, data provided by collection holders on the basis of obligatory actualisation.

Small, MS Access-based frontend for treatment of collection datasets in individual museums and their export to CES.

Connection with object databases is still lacking in both applications – only collection descriptions and catalogue numbers of respective objects are stored. Data exchange is based on traditional floppy disc transport between individual collection holders and the Ministry of Culture.
