Abstract
The article deals with an analysis of the possibilities of implementing a project for the digital integration of information resources (state information systems) that are currently being created by the federal government departments of the Russian Federation in charge of the Archival, Library and Museum Funds. In the preamble, the author briefly describes foreign experience in implementing such projects; highlights the history of the discussion – within the Russian communities of historians, culturologists, specialists in the field of information technology and security, as well as archivists, librarians and museum workers – of the issue of creating unified archive-library-museum information resources; defines the main goals that could be achieved as a result of the formation of integrated resources. In the main part of the article, the author considers the regulatory and methodological framework of the Archival, Museum and Library spheres in the context of the creation of the sectoral state information systems. The article also deals with the changes that have occurred in the regulatory and methodological framework over the past decades – the changes that are related to the adjustment of the activities for the acquisition, recording, keeping, use and provision of access to the information connected with the «non-core» objects of historical and cultural heritage included in the collections. The author pays special attention to the analysis of methodological and technical approaches, as well as to the solution of the technological issues (standards and formats), which form the basis of the created information systems. It is concluded that the creation of integrated information resources seems unlikely under the present circumstances.
