Proceedings of the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina 16<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Facts and Artifacts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Issue theme:
\nPhotography as a Historical Source and a Museological Tool<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between fact and artifact, photography occupies a unique place. It simultaneously documents
\nand shapes reality, bears witness and interprets, captures a moment\u2014but also influences how
\nwe remember it. Photography can be evidence, but also a construction; a trace of the past, but
\nalso a means of its interpretation.<\/p>\n

The new issue of the Proceedings of the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina is
\ndedicated to photography as a historical source and a museological tool. The focus is on the
\nrole of photography in researching the past, building a culture of memory, and contemporary
\nmuseum practices.<\/p>\n

We invite researchers, curators, historians, theorists, artists, and cultural workers to reflect on
\nphotography as a medium of knowledge, memory, and interpretation through various
\ndisciplines and approaches.<\/p>\n
