Topics

visual-history.de aims to highlight the thematic diversity of historical image research. Planned topics include dossiers on photo editors and scientific photography, as well as articles on press photography, posters, atlases, image sources and illustrations in school textbooks, object photography (e.g., of museum collections), postcards, and digitization in image archives. The site also plans to feature country-specific focuses, such as the history of photography in Hungary. For now, the audiovisual media of film and television will not be included; however, an expansion in this direction is being considered for the long term.

The thematic articles will be displayed on this page on an ongoing basis as they are published.
