This paper presents a general view of a proposal for a digital reinterpretation of a collection of scientific instruments belonging to the Physics Cabinet of the Science Museum of the University of Coimbra. In this cataloging, the local and global aspects of each instrument are inventoried and represented by a semantic network of concepts, facts, ideas, and narratives, resulting in a knowledge base about scientific physics instruments. This knowledge base will be made available to students, researchers, and the general public through a mobile phone application. The article also offers a review of the transformations of the conceptual models of material culture studies related to scientific instruments and adds some contributions to this field of study.

In 1884 and 1885, the Technical and Industrial Museum in Kraków bought four sets of glass models of jewellery stones. They were models of the most famous diamonds, diamond cut models, models of weight of precious stones (carats), models of colors and crystallographic systems of precious stones. The purchase was likely caused by the fact that the Museum conducted educational activity from 1868 and its role was, among others, to raise the level of education of local craftsmen, entrepreneurs and traders.After the liquidation of the Technical and Industrial Museum in 1950, the aforementioned four sets were transferred to the collection of the National Museum in Kraków. Based on the documents, inventory cards and trade stickers preserved in the Museum, it can be indisputably concluded that these sets of stones, made with great precision, were purchased at the Vaclav Frič store in Prague. Their creator could have been one of the two extremely talented glassmakers, Leopold or Rudolph Blaschka of Dresden, with whom Frič cooperated intensively. The two glassmakers are known primarily as creators of zoological and botanical models, characterized by great precision. Their works nowadays adorn many university, museum and private collections.

W 1884 i 1885 roku Muzeum Techniczno-Przemysłowe w Krakowie kupiło cztery komplety szklanych modeli kamieni jubilerskich. Były to modele najsłynniejszych diamentów, modele szlifów kamieni szlachetnych, modele wagi (masy) kamieni szlachetnych (karaty), modele kolorów i układów krystalograficznych kamieni szlachetnych. Zakup ten był spowodowany zapewne tym, że muzeum prowadziło od 1868 roku bardzo ożywioną działalność edukacyjną i jego rolą było m.in. podnoszenie poziomu wykształcenia tutejszych rzemieślników, przedsiębiorców i handlowców. Zbiór czterech kompletów trafił następnie – po likwidacji Muzeum Techniczno-Przemysłowego w roku 1950 – do kolekcji Muzeum Narodowego w Krakowie. Zachowane w muzeum dokumenty, karty inwentarzowe, nalepki handlowe pozwalają bezsprzecznie stwierdzić, że te wykonane z wielką precyzją komplety modeli kamieni zakupione zostały w sklepie Vaclava Friča w Pradze. Ich twórcą mógł być jeden z dwóch niezwykle utalentowanych szklarzy – Leopold lub Rudolph Blaschka z Drezna, z którymi Frič intensywnie kooperował. Szklarze są znani przede wszystkim jako twórcy modeli zoologicznych i botanicznych, odznaczających się wielką precyzją wykonania. Ich dzieła stanowią obecnie ozdobę wielu kolekcji uniwersyteckich, muzealnych i prywatnych.

The article presents biographical entries and professional achievements of three makers of scientific instruments from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, who were related with each other: Roman Calikowski (1886–1940), his brother Ludwik Calikowski (1889–1961) and Roman’s son Roman Julian (1915–1986). These mechanics worked at the Jagiellonian University between 1904 and 1962/1963. Two brothers, Roman and Ludwik, were associated with the University throughout their professional life. During their tenure, the University’s research in the field of low temperatures continued, which was initiated in 1883 by Zygmunt Wróblewski (1845–1888) and Karol Olszewski (1846–1915). The main scientific achievement of these researchers was the liquefaction of oxygen, nitrogen and other solid gases. In the late 19th century, Kraków was an important center of cryogenic research, in which the mechanics played important role. Roman Calikowski made instruments for liquefying gases according to the design of Karol Olszewski. Liquefiers from his workshop were ordered, inter alia, by universities in Chicago, Mumbai and Madrid. A few instruments from his workshop have been preserved in the collections of the Jagiellonian University. Ludwik Calikowski worked as a maker of scientific instruments in a university cryogenic laboratory. He served and maintained the apparatus for liquefying gases and made instruments, although none have survived to this day. Roman Julian Calikowski took over the workshop after his father. Until 1950 he ran his own company, which made simple small microscopes, surveing instruments, psychotechnical devices and other instruments. After moving to Warsaw, he devoted himself to scientific work. Roman Calikowski’s products, especially cryogenic apparatus, represented a high level of workmanship and safety. This is evidenced by numerous orders for its liquefiers submitted by foreign laboratories. The company of Roman Julian Calikowski, apart from a wide range of instruments it offered, used to repair photographic and measuring equipment.
