Acetate or Polyester Base? Polarisation Filters Can Help
For the preservation of film negatives it is essential to
correctly identify the type of film base. Even for collection
co-workers who have had no specialized training in the
preservation of photographs, the polarisation filter test makes it
possible to clearly differentiate between cellulose acetate, which
is threatened by the acetic acid syndrome, and stable polyester
base.

The Camera Lucida - Striving for the Perfect Copy: A
Preliminary Stage to Photography
In contrast to the well-known camera obscura, the camera lucida
a less familiar device for drawing objects. Looking through the
eyepiece, the motif appears as a projected image on the drawing
stage, where it can easily be traced. On the basis of a 19th
Century camera lucida from the collection of the Stuttgart State
Academy of Art and Design, this small, nearly forgotten device is
described on a technical level. In addition, a theory by the
English painter David Hockney is presented, in which indications
for the use of such a device in the drawings of Jean Auguste
Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) are discovered.

stadtteilgeschichten.net: User Generated Content and
Crowdsourcing in an Internet Photograph Archive
Since 2008, the Citizens' Archive of the History of Everyday
Life in Hamburg's Urban Quarters, stadtteilgeschichten.net, offers
its world-wide private and institutional users an internet
platform for the cooperative development and publication of
digitized and digital photographs of the history of everyday life
in Hamburg's quarters. The platform is run without state support
by the active members of the non-profit, purely honorary
association stadtteilgeschichten.net. As a founding member, the
Verbundzentrale Göttingen (VZG) of the Gemeinsamer
Bibliotheksverbund (GBV, Common Library Network) has donated the
server infrastructure free of charge. The work of the carrier
association is supported by a small number of promoting members
and donors. As regards to the contents, the work of digitization,
publication and development has so far been carried out by
approximately four dozen honorary, world-wide users. Primary
sources that had until now been unknown are made accessible to the
interested public and researchers by this innovative form of
co-operation. On average, three hundred users visit this site per
month, and they generally remain there for more than two minutes.
For the presentation of the publications it is therefore
especially important to make the accessibility of the holdings
user-friendly; in addition, layman experts and researchers are
offered the possibility of participating in the process of
development and quality control that continues after the
publication itself.

FOTOTHEK: Specialty Store for Forgotten Private Photographs
For five years now, artist Anke Heelemann has been expressing
herself mainly in the form of the long-term project FOTOTHEK -
Specialty Store for Forgotten Private Photographs. The starting
point, 'props room' and source of inspiration of this project is
an extensive archive of anonymous, private photographs, slides and
photo albums of the 1920s to 1980s. The so-called 'picture
rubbish' comes from flea markets, bulky refuse depots or the
Internet platform Ebay. The collection is now also growing thanks
to a number of donations. Heelemann's collecting activity is not
subject to any fixed criteria in terms of picture content. It
started in June 2006 as a store project, but in the meantime
FOTOTHEK has developed into a complex action form. It is based on
a process-related working mode consisting of installation and
performing communication.

Pictures from the Whole World in 86 Drawers: The Historical
Photograph Archive of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, Cologne
The beginnings of the historical photograph archive of the
Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum - Cultures of the World, the only
ethnological museum in North Rhine-Westphalia, date back to a
donation by Wilhelm Joest in 1899. Joest's sister Adele
Rautenstrauch financed the building of the museum, which opened in
1906, in part as a memorial to her deceased husband Eugen. Georg
Küppers-Loosen, also from Cologne, donated the largest
collection of historical photographs, consisting of 12,000
objects, to the archive. Counting in the estate of Hans Helfritz,
the historical archive holds some 100,000 photographs, the
earliest of which are from the 1860s. The archive holds all types
of pictures and photographic processes commonly found in
ethnological museums, and all regions of the earth are
represented, if to different degrees.
