The Museum für Naturkunde emerged from the union of three separate museums that had been established simultaneously with the founding of the Berlin University in 1810, including: the Anatomical-Zootomical Museum, the Mineralogical Museum (founded in 1814) and the Zoological Museum. From 1889 onwards the museum had to deal with the huge number of objects which were brought to Berlin from the German colonies and large expeditions. On February 3, 1945 the east wing of the museum was destroyed in a bombing raid nevertheless, the Museum für Naturkunde was the first museum in Berlin to be reopened on the 16th of September 1945. The collections still grew through valuable donations, as well as through objects collected on expeditions to Cuba, the People's Republic of Mongolia and the Soviet Union. The Museum für Naturkunde was reorganised after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the German Reunification. In 2005 a considerable change in the exhibitions started as about one third of the exhibition area is currently being modernized. 2006 the museum was again reorganised and by the end of 2006, the reconstruction of the bombed east wing began. ...

Das Sammeln und Bewahren von Kulturgütern ist eine der Kernaufgaben von Museen, Archiven und Bibliotheken. Im Zeitalter digitaler Medien hat sich dieser traditionelle Auftrag verändert, da neben physischen Objekten auch digitale Güter gesichert und dauerhaft verfügbar gemacht werden müssen. Diese (oft originär) digitalen Informationen haben vielfältige Datenformate und sind einem schnellen Alterungsprozess unterworfen. Eine schnellstmögliche Entwicklung adäquater Strategien um die enorme Menge an Informationen zu archivieren sind damit unumgänglich. Archivierung bedeutet für Gedächtnisinstitutionen wie Museen jedoch nicht nur die alleinige Speicherung sondern vielmehr die Sicherstellung eines dauerhaften Zugriffs auf die Informationen. Die Tagung gliedert sich in vier Sektionen: (1) Weitergabe und Import von Daten und Metadaten; (2) Verwaltung und Pflege von Sammlungs- und Multimediadaten; (3) Backup von Sammlungs- und Multimediadaten (Speicherung und Langzeitarchivierung); (4) Datenzugriff, Verfügbarkeit und Veröffentlichung. ...
