We would like to bring together historical landscape photographs from private photo holdings onto an online photo platform. The digital photo collection is intended to document the changes in living spaces over the past century and make them available for research purposes. To do this, we need the help of committed local citizens – that is, from Görlitz and the surrounding area – who provide their analog individual images, photo albums and slides.
An important prerequisite is the most specific information possible about the photographer, place and time of the photos. This information is invaluable and should be recorded while the photographers or their friends and relatives still remember it.
The selected photographs are professionally and carefully digitized by us. After processing (digitization and recording of important image information), all participants receive their original photos and a digital image of each selected image back.
For example, photos of forests, meadows, mountains, bodies of water or fields are suitable, but also photos of parks, cottage gardens and village structures.
To arrange a personal appointment to hand in your photos, albums or slides, please contact Frau Neumeister und Frau Baber, E-Mail: landschaftsfotos@senckenberg.de, Tel.: 03581 4760 5270.
