About creation of the tools for work with ethnographic collections and archives of field materials for museum workers

The article considers the experience of creating tools to a museum worker to work with ethnographic collections and archives. One of the problems in the scientific certification and cataloging of museum collections is developing a reference system required for the museum employee during definition items. The toolbox includes the description of the methodology of the scientific description of the ethnographic museum object in the catalog, directories and indexes. Disclosed the experience to create catalogs of ethnographic collections of museums in Omsk, Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Tyumen. We describe the preparation of instructional techniques of scientific description in the catalog. The references are intended first of all to employees of small museum of regional, rural and city museums, which do not always have the opportunity to work in academic libraries. The first was the reference book of women's handiwork of people living in the south of Western Siberia - Russian, Ukrainians, Tatars, Kazakhs, Germans. Basically, the handbook explains how to decorate items made of cloth or manufacture products in a particular technique. The next guide in this series will be a publication of utensils for food. Another work direction of the authors of the creation tools for anthropologists and museum professionals is making the index field of ethnographic materials stored in the archives. The search index we developed based on archives of field data of the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Omsk State University named by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, which is one of the largest "storage" of ethnographic information in our region. It serves as the source basis for many ethnographic studies at various levels from coursework to doctoral theses. Construction principles and classification of the index are also disclosed in this article.
