The computerized register allows the data to be sorted according to different aspects and lists to be compiled according to the different needs and expectations of the researchers. For example, it is possible to search by inventory number, discipline, subject of recording, type of photo inventory item, location of recording, name of collector / creator, time of making, and size of photo inventory item.
Our latest creations are currently being scientifically processed. They are locked until they are registered or subject to research protection and are therefore not accessible to researchers.
Viewing negatives is possible with the help of thread gloves, a negative screen and various types of magnifiers. If there is an object photo on the descriptive card for the selected negative, then we show it to the researchers, or if we have already digitized the negatives, they can be viewed on a computer. Borrowing the negatives are not possible for external researchers and other institutions. A “copy” of the selected negatives can be requested. This is subjected to director’s permit and a fee shall be paid.

Object Collection
The Fine Arts Collection of the Herman Ottó Museum includes more than 17,000 works of art. A significant part of the heterogeneous collection consists of memories of local fine art life: selected works by past and present artists of the region. The graphic collection has a national outlook and significance beyond the borders of the region. The Herman Ottó Museum manages the fine art collection of Dr. Sándor Petró, the legacy of Endre Szász (preserved by Lula Szász) and the Kövesi collection taken over from the Magyar Nemzeti Bank in November 2015.
Fine Arts Data Repository
Our documents provide source material for the processing of the fine art life of the region and the work of the artists in the region. Outstanding data storage units: the documents of the 1906 and 1910 traveling exhibitions of Upper Hungary from the legacy of Bertalan Balogh, the legacy of artist Dezső Mokry Mészáros, the small-print collection of painter László Ficzere.
Research
The research service is continuous in the collection. By prior appointment, we are available to researchers at an individually agreed time. The research is accessible and free of charge to all interested parties, provided that the research permit is requested.
The data repository and library of the Miskolc Gallery can be researched in the Petró House.
