Culture treasure light. Competent in dealing - Open in access. Photography goes future

Closed

For the conservation and public access of photos, measures of digitizing, preservation and archiving are be realized in the project area. Especially for people who work on a voluntary basis as chroniclers, in museums or archives and for the field of adult education, there are no specific guidelines for the handling of the digital and analogue “cultural treasure of photos“ yet. Therefore, a systematic strategy for quality management and improvement is strongly needed. Through an intensive process of research and participation handouts are going to be elaborated and handed on to the target group in Tyrol and South Tyrol via workshop-modules, Online-Learning courses and consultations – as a consequent measure of knowledge transmission for the purpose of a transnational additional value of the project. Considering European, national and regional development strategies, the project also deals with the issue of Government Open Data and realizes the principle of public access to the data and meta data of the public administration and their processing mainly through Start Ups – realized for the first time ever in the field of “historical photography“. The “platform photography” collects the outcome of the project (handouts, Open Data, new photo collections, virtual exhibits, app for mobile equipment). It acts as a main portal to combine knowledge of different institutions and secure it in a sustainable way for the target groups and people interested in analogue/digital photography.
