Update: ISO Standards for Photographic Materials
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
publishes a number of standards for the storage and handling of
photographic materials. Due to the technical and chemical
evolution of photography and our increasing understanding of these
materials, the standards are updated regularly, at least once
every five years.

The Agfacolor Process in Photography and Motion Picture Film: A
Pioneer Accomplishment and its International Use
Kodak in the U.S.A. was not the only company to develop a
modern colour film in the mid 1930s; in Germany, Agfa pioneered a
similar technology at the same time. The process that the
Agfacolor-Neu-Film (1936) was based upon was more universal,
however: it could be used not only, as with Kodachrome, for slides
and home movies, but additionally for negatives, prints and cinema
film. After World War II, due to the released German patents, the
process was soon adopted by nearly all of Agfas competitors.
It was last used for the colour films of the ORWO film plant in
Wolfen, which is incidentally also its place of origin. The
termination of production in Wolfen and Leverkusen has now closed
the chapter of the technical history of this process within
photography and film.

The Picture Archive of the State Museum of Technology and Work
in Mannheim: The Transformation of a Picture Archive: from
Traditional to Modern
The Picture Archive of the State Museum is still a relatively
young archive that holds pictorial material relating
to both historical and present themes. The acquisition of numerous
private and business collections has expanded the holdings of
historical material considerably. Thanks to an internal photo
department, the Museum has also created its own documentary
pictorial material from early on. The third source of materials in
the archive has been the purchase of pictures for the permanent
and special exhibitions since the museums opening in 1990.
This article describes the history and the structure of the
Picture Archive as well as workflow issues of managing the complex
collections within the Museums database software FAUST. The
architecture of the database is able to satisfy the needs of even
quite particular inquiries made by internal and external users.
Using the example of the estate of Felix Wankel, the practical
realization of important museum tasks is illustrated; these
include collecting, preserving, documenting, and making the
database accessible to the public.

3D Archaeology: A Modern Method for Three-Dimensional
Documentation
Accurate documentation is one of the fundamental steps of
scientifically processing archaeological objects. Pictorial
documentation, in particular, which has so far usually consisted
of technical drawings, is associated with an enormous effort. In
order to accelerate this process, the Archaeological Heritage
Service in Saxony (LfA) uses a 3D laser scanner, with which large
numbers of found objects can be captured and stored as digital
reproductions. Computer-generated illustrations thus now replace
technical drawings on a large scale. Archaeologists use these
illustrations in a documentation software called
TroveSketch that was developed at the Technical
University of Chemnitz.
