originaalobjektiga

originaalobjektiga is an Estonian term that translates to "with the original object" or "with the original item" in English. It is often used in legal, archival, and technical contexts to indicate that an action or comparison is being made directly with the primary, authentic version of something, rather than a copy, reproduction, or derivative.

For instance, in legal proceedings, a document may need to be presented "originaalobjektiga" to verify its authenticity and ensure that it is the genuine article, not a forged or altered version. Similarly, in the field of art restoration or authentication, referring to the "originaalobjektiga" means working with the actual artwork, not a photograph or a replica, to make informed decisions about its condition or provenance.

In archival science, "originaalobjektiga" signifies the importance of preserving and accessing the first-generation materials, which hold the highest historical and informational value. This contrasts with dealing with secondary sources or digital scans, which, while useful, are not the original. The concept emphasizes the unique authority and integrity associated with the initial creation of an object or document. When an instruction or requirement specifies dealing "originaalobjektiga," it underscores the need for direct engagement with the source material itself.
