| Zusammenfassung: | Scrapbooks are heterogenous collection objects of various appearances and origins. The present thesis examines a special example: an album containing mounted Baroque hand drawings by various artists, which was created in Absam in Tyrol (Austria), in the early 19th century. The methodology applied in this work combines visual and scientific examinations including imaging techniques. These are complemented by a value assessment according to Barbara Appelbaum and a literature-based contextualization as well as intra- and interdisciplinary exchange. The central concern is the question of what conservation insights can be gained for the development of a sustainable conservation strategy. The focus lies on the construction method and the material changes in order to understand the creation and the history of the object. This research enables a value-based analysis of the album and its historical functions. Investigation reveals this album as a multi-layered ensemble consisting of a cover, a book block, 63 mounted drawings and various reworkings. The moment of assembly marked a turning point at which the individual components became part of a new, inseparable work. This thesis emphasizes the necessity of evaluating and appreciating the scrapbook as an ensemble. Knowledge of the original use and all changes form the essential basis for a value-based consideration of the object, leading to the development of an adequate conservation concept. This underlines the importance of scrapbooks as historical and cultural artefacts and advocates for their preservation in their entirety. |
