New embroidery on an old canvas. The employees of the Jagiellonian University Museum as guardians of the University’s memory and intermediators of intergenerational transfer of experience.

The aim of the project is to conduct indepth interviews with current and retired employees, as well as the Directors of the Jagiellonian University Museum in order to collect information about the activity of the Museum in its early days, restauration of the Collegium Maius edifice undertaken at the time by prof. Karol Estreicher Jr. Also, the aim of the interviews is to learn about the sense of identity among the Museum’s employees, their attachement to the University, relations and interactions between the Museum’s microcommunity and the wider University and urban community. The project will also point out those elements of University traditions that are created and cultivated by the Museum employees, and are less known part of the University’s history. The collected material will be analysed and presented in a form of 6 podcasts which will be accessible to wider audience via the University’s and the Museum’s social media channels. Summary of the project and analysis of the material collected during the interviews will contribute to a paper and will be published in the Opuscula Musealia periodical.
