Ad fontes – Zur Verwendung historischer Fotografien in den Geschichtswissenschaften
«Ad fontes» ein digitales Lernangebot der Universität Zürich, beinhaltet ein eigenes Modul zur Fotografiegeschichte – insbesondere in Afrika – und zum Umgang mit Fotografien in den Geschichtswissenschaften.
Die interaktiven Übungen und Tutorien bieten einen Überblick über die Geschichte der technischen Entwicklungen und sozialen Praktiken der Fotografie und zeigen, wie Fotografien als Quellen genutzt und als Forschungsgegenstände untersucht werden können. Die Trainingsaufgaben handeln vom Recherchieren in Online-Bildarchiven und der Verwendung von Fotografien in eigenen Forschungsarbeiten. Literaturtipps, ein Datierungstool und weitere Hilfsmittel erleichtern den Einstieg in das Arbeiten mit und über Fotografien.
Das Tool beschäftigt sich insbesondere mit der Geschichte der Fotografie in Afrika, weil Fotografien spannende Quellen und Forschungsgegenstände für die afrikanische Geschichte sind und die Fotografie Teil des Kolonisierungsprozesses war.
«Afrika im Fokus» wurde von Eliane Kurmann und Prof. Dr. Gesine Krüger am Historischen Seminar der Universität Zürich für «Ad fontes» entwickelt.

Typology guide – Lacquer discs collection of Radio-Lausanne and Radio-Genève
Rochat, Rebecca. Typology guide. Lacquer discs collection of Radio-Lausanne and Radio-Genève / Guide typologique. Disques à gravure directe de Radio-Lausanne et Radio-Genève. FONSART 2019.
Between 1930 and 1960, radio contents were mainly recorded on lacquer transcription discs, consisting of a thin layer of lacquer applied on aluminium, PVC, paper or glass substrates. Due to their composite structure and lack of standardisation in manufacturing, these carriers have proved to be very unstable and deteriorate rapidly.
Radio Télévision Suisse’s collection of 85,000 lacquer discs is of substantial significance for local communities in Switzerland, in addition to historical and political values with the coverage of international events. The collection also holds technological importance and includes a wide range of international manufacturers used in broadcasting services, namely Presto, Audiodiscs, Pyral, MSS, Simplat and Thorens.
Initiated by FONSART in 2012, the digitisation project aims to ensure the preservation and permanent accessibility of RTS lacquer discs, and raise awareness of this sensitive sound heritage. A typological research studied the different types of instantaneous discs in the collection as well as patents on manufacturing technologies.

An ATR-FTIR and ESEM study on magnetic tapes for the assessment of the degradation of historical audio recordings
Federica Bressan/Roberta Bertani/Claudio Furlan/Fabio Simionato/Sergio Canazza (University of Padova, Italy). An ATR-FTIR and ESEM study on magnetic tapes for the assessment of the degradation of historical audio recordings. Journal of Cultural Heritage 18 (2016) 313–320.
Abstract This article presents some approaches for chemical and physical characterization of materials (ATR-FTIR and ESEM) applied to a specific category of cultural material, magnetic tapes. Analogue recording on magnetic tape has been the main technique for capturing sound for about five decades in the past century. Most of our collective memory is therefore stored on this type of medium, which is unfortunately degrading very fast. The past twenty years have witnessed a true rush to digitization in order to save the information stored on tape, but many aspects of the physical recovery of damaged carriers are still performed without solid scientific knowledge, leaving space for improvised treatments with unexpected ill effects. The main motivations for this study are that the preservation of sound recordings is an urgent matter that belongs to the field of Intangible Cultural Heritage preservation, the scientific literature on the subject is scarce and little known by the non-scientific archival world, and the documented approaches to tapes recovery are currently fragmented and do not provide an exhaustive reference for the operators in this field. The analyses presented in this article aim at paving the way for the establishment of a scientific protocol for the safe recovery of damaged tapes.
La vie culturelle, sociale et politique de la Suisse romande au travers de la collection de films de Plans-Fixes de 1977 à aujourd’hui
La Suisse romande existe-t-elle dans le concert helvétique du XXe siècle? Quel fut le poids de ses philosophes, de ses artistes – romanciers et poètes, peintres, musiciens ou acteurs – dans les changements culturels, les ruptures esthétiques du temps? Comment concevait-on il y a cinquante ans l’action syndicale ou politique? Comment s’organisait alors l’aide sociale aux plus défavorisés? Comment vivait-on dans une famille pauvre des montagnes jurassiennes? Comment les sourds-muets en sont-ils venus à s’organiser pour défendre leurs intérêts? Comment un maître d’école voyait-il son rôle dans les années cinquante? Un projet pour le XXIe siècle
An Optical Media Preservation Strategy
Schweikert, Annie. An Optical Media Preservation Strategy for New York University’s Fales Library & Special Collections, NYU Moving Image Archiving and Preservation, 2018.
At Fales Library & Special Collections, optical media—that is, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and even MiniDiscs and LaserDiscs—represent 15% of all digital data, but 86% of all digital objects. The amount of data accessioned on these discs has grown rapidly since 2013, averaging a 352% increase on average each year. The amount of data on optical disc across NYU’s Special Collections is expected to continue growing for at least the next few decades as donors conclude their careers and donate their materials. The fragility of these discs renders them inappropriate for long-term storage. NYU must extract the information on these discs before the data becomes inaccessible.This report presents an overview of the diverse and unique difficulties posed by optical media, an exploration of the tools considered by Fales, and recommendations based on local specifications.

Harvey, Ross and Mahard, Martha R. The Preservation Management Handbook. A 21st-Century Guide for Libraries, Archives, and Museums. Lanham: Rowman and Littlefield, revised 2020.
Cultural heritage professionals – museum curators, museum professionals, archivists and librarians – work with their specialized knowledge to prioritize the needs of their collections. Preservation managers draw on experts in climate control, fire safety, pest management and more in developing the large overview of a collection and its needs. And all the special materials within the collections have their experts too. Here, in one volume, is a wide range of topic-specific expertise that comprises both an enduring text for preservation students as well as an essential one-stop reference for cultural heritage professionals—particularly those in small- to medium sized organizations where resources are limited and professional help is not always at hand. The editors introduce the reader to the essential tools and principles of a preservation management program in the twenty-first century, addressing the realities of diverse collections and materials, and embracing the challenges of working with both analog and digital collections. The sections on planning and managing a preservation program contain the basic starting point for any kind of collection, regardless of size and content. Written with the small collection in mind, the principles are nevertheless scalable and widely applicable.

ARSCLIB and ARSCLIST / Association for Recorded Sound Collections
ARSCLIB: The ARSC Library and Archives Electronic Discussion List ARSCLIB is a forum for discussing issues of concern to persons who are responsible for caring for recorded sound collections within institutions. The discussions are expected to have a narrower professional focus than the main ARSCLIST, e.g., members may ask for advice or share current best practices with respect to environmental conditions, storage, collection policies and deaccessioning, cleaning and digitization practices, digital archiving, outsourcing, metadata collection, cataloging practices, streaming delivery, professional conferences and workshops, and other issues that specifically concern the care of collections held within institutions.
ARSCLIST: The ARSC Recorded Sound Electronic Discussion List Topics appropriate for discussion may include discussion about recorded sound research, history, innovations, preservation, archiving, copyrights and access and announcements about ARSC activities and publications. Other lists may be more appropriate forums for subjective discussions of particular recordings or artists, restoration of antique equipment, buying and selling recordings and the collecting of ephemera. All messages posted to the list will be archived permanently. By posting to this list the subscriber agrees to have his or her message become part of the permanent public archive.

The unlocking of these (largely) closed archives should make their content freely available for educational and academic purposes, on a large-scale international basis, enabling an interactive discovery of television’s cultural heritage. The project Video Active – funded by the eContentPlus programme (2005-2008) of the European Commission – has finished at the end of August 2009. The portal contains over 10.000 items: videos, photographs and articles. The history of European television can be discovered through multiple themes. Each of these themes has it’s own showcase, highlighting parts of the collection with additional context information. Various search modes can be applied. The portal will continue to be online.

L’Histoire par l’image est un site français du Ministère de la culture qui s’est donné l’ambition d’enrichir la connaissance du passé à travers les œuvres d’art et les documents iconographiques qui s’y rapportent. Bien des œuvres, quelle que soit leur nature, restent trop souvent utilisées comme de simples illustrations et méritent d’être analysées au-delà de la brève légende qui les accompagne le plus souvent. Ces œuvres ne renvoient pas seulement aux événements marquants de l’histoire de France. Les artistes des siècles passés nous ont en effet laissé une somme remarquable de témoignages sur les grandes évolutions sociales et culturelles que la France a connues depuis la Révolution.

Encompassing field recording, sound art and sound mapping, every location on the Cities and Memory sound map features two sounds: the original field recording of that place, and a reimagined sound that presents that place and time as somewhere else, somewhere new. The listener can explore places through their actual sounds, to explore reimagined versions of what those places could be – or to flip between the two different sound worlds at leisure.

Schnetzer, Dominik. Bergbild und Geistige Landesverteidigung. Die visuelle Inszenierung der Alpen im massenmedialen Ensemble der modernen Schweiz, Chronos 2009.
Die Jahre von 1900 bis 1938 waren geprägt von Industrialisierung und Urbanisierung, von der Durchsetzung eines neuen massenmedialen Ensembles und dem Aufstieg eines naturalisierten Nationalismus. In dieser Zeit hat sich ein spezifisch schweizerisches Seinsverständnis ausgebildet, das mit der Geistigen Landesverteidigung als schützenswert erklärt wurde. Das Buch beleuchtet vor diesem Hintergrund den nationalen Bildhaushalt der modernen Schweiz: Nach 1900 erfolgte der erste pictorial turn des 20. Jahrhunderts, ein Visualisierungsschub, der durch Medientechniken wie Autotypie, Kinematografie und Rotationsdruckverfahren möglich wurde und in eine eigentliche Bildkonjunktur überging. Diese Entwicklung prägte den Umgang mit Bildern massgeblich. Besonders relevant waren die Umbrüche in den Sehgewohnheiten, die von der Urbanisierung sowie von der visuellen Unfassbarkeit der «leeren Schlachtfelder» im Ersten Weltkrieg herrührten. Gerade am Bergbild lässt sich zeigen, dass in dieser Zeit einerseits Bild- und Textdiskurse in ein neues Verhältnis gebracht, andererseits althergebrachte Fotografien des bürgerlichen Alpinismus an einen fortschrittseuphorischen Patriotismus gekoppelt wurden und dadurch das Selbstbild der Schweiz als Gotthardstaat mitformten. Die Ordnung visueller Diskurse mit ihren spezifischen Textbezügen wird an zahlreichen Beispielen von bisher nicht untersuchten filmischen und fotografischen Quellen sowie an Presseerzeugnissen systematisch dargestellt.

The Atlas of Water Damage on Inkjet-printed Fine Art
Connor, Meghan and Burger, Daniel. The Atlas of Water Damage on Inkjet-printed Fine Art. Image Permanence Institut IPI, New York 2016.
This atlas is intended to help readers become aware of the various ways that inkjet prints can be harmed during water emergencies. Each page highlights a different form of water damage that can affect inkjet-printed photographs and fine art. The preferred term for each type is given followed by a brief definition. The accompanying images illustrate common examples of damage that can occur, from small spills that affect only parts of a print to major floods that may saturate entire collections of prints with dirty or salt water. Every water emergency will be different, so prior familiarization with all potential types of damage will help disaster responders understand what has occurred to an object as well as how best to react to and recover their materials during the actual event.

“Electronic resources are a central part of our cultural and intellectual heritage, but this material is at risk. Digital memory needs constant management, using new techniques and processes, to contain such risks as technological obsolescence. Risk begins before the digital record is created and continues for as long as the digital object needs to be retained. Digital preservation is too big an issue for individual institutions or even sectors to address independently. Concerted action at both national and international level is required. DigitalPreservationEurope, building on the earlier successful work of ERPANET, facilitates pooling of the complementary expertise that exists across the academic research, cultural, public administration and industry sectors in Europe.”

Music archives are home to a treasure trove of audio. And the contents are not only music – videos, books, documents, manuscripts and musical instruments are all part of Europe’s cultural heritage. But due to lack of interoperability between data catalogues, this material often lies hidden from the outside world. The two-year EU-funded project initiated in September 2006, addresses the problem. Partners will provide copies of their metadata to be made available via the DISMARC website, and all data will be searchable from one point of access.

5-day Intensive Professional Training
Media Art is increasingly common in museums and archives, galleries and private collections, and other more unexpected places. However, significant loss threatens this art form due to rapid technological obsolescence and insufficient documentation strategies. The special needs required to care for this valuable and fragile heritage is slowly becoming obvious. Understanding the tenets of media art preservation is no longer a niche, but useful skills and knowledge in an expanding field.
The Mediapedia resource is intended to enable the identification of various physical media carrier types for assisting with collection planning, assessment, documentation, infrastructure and preservation planning for the content they hold. These could include media across various genres such as cine, video, photo, audio, data, paper carriers, microfilm, etc.

Pepe Fischer, Saro. Bestandserhaltung im Film-/Videoarchiv des Schweizer Fernsehens, Chur 2010 (Churer Schriften zur Informationswissenschaft, 42)
Abstract
Die Untersuchung stellt die Bestandserhaltungsmassnahmen im Film- und Videoarchiv des Schweizer Fernsehens (SF) in ihrer historischen Dimension dar. Sie versucht, einen geschichtlichen Abriss über die Entwicklung von Archivbewusstsein und Sammlungsstrategien sowohl in der SRG SSR idée suisse, als auch bei SF zu geben.
Ein erster Teil der Arbeit überblickt unter Berücksichtigung der umfangreichen Quellenlage die Bestandserhaltungs- und Archivpolitik der SRG ab 1970. Im zweiten Abschnitt wird ein konkreter Fokus auf die bei SF seit 1995 laufenden Archivüberspielungs-Projekte gelegt. Die Darstellung dieser systematischen Rettung gefährdeter Film- und Videobestände rundet die Bestandserhaltungshistorie des Schweizer Fernsehens ab.
Im praxisnahen dritten Teil wird ein «historisches Raster» für die Sendungsbestände von SF erarbeitet. Es wird ein Schema präsentiert, mit dem für jeden Bestand die spezifischen Informationen in den Bereichen Aufzeichnung,Erschliessung und Überspielung gesichert werden können. An Hand eines Beispielbestands und eines Kosten-Nutzen-Vergleichs wird die mögliche Umsetzung der Ideen abschliessend überprüft. Publikation

FilmCare.org is both a decision-making tool and a comprehensive learning resource for all types and formats of film.
FilmCare.org is a central resource for best practices in film preservation that provides guidelines for dealing with the preservation of all types and formats of film materials. It addresses the requirements for preserving black-and-white and color film and nitrate, acetate, and polyester-based film. It also addresses specific issues for motion-picture film, sheet film, still roll film, microfilm, and aerial film, as well as the management of collections containing a variety of media types (certainly the most common real-life situations encountered in the field). This approach focuses primarily on storage, condition surveys, and the development and implementation of best-fit environment-based strategies.
The PrestoCentre Resources Archive offer a collection of text-based and mostly downloadable documents like white papers, technical reports, digests, references to information websites, instructional material and procedure guides.

Risks Associated with the Use of Recordable CDs and DVDs as Reliable Storage Media
Bradley, Kevin. Risks Associated with the Use of Recordable CDs and DVDs as Reliable Storage Media in Archival Collections – Strategies and Alternatives. Paris: UNESCO, 2006.
The Preservation Self-Assessment Program (PSAP) is a free online tool that helps collection managers prioritize efforts to improve conditions of collections. Through guided evaluation of materials, storage/exhibit environments, and institutional policies, the PSAP produces reports on the factors that impact the health of cultural heritage materials, and defines the points from which to begin care.
Any organization that collects paper documents, photographic and image materials, and audiovisual media could benefit from the PSAP, including library special collections, archives, museums, and historical societies. Like the Audiovisual Self-Assessment Program (AvSAP) which preceded it, the PSAP is designed to assist in organizations where little to no prior preservation training exists.
The PSAP was developed by the University of Illinois Libraries through the generous support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Présentation
Depuis 2006, la section d’histoire développe un axe de recherche spécifique autour de la valorisation des sources radiophoniques et télévisuelles. Au-delà d’une histoire des médias concernés, cette démarche vise à une intégration toujours plus systématique, et méthodologiquement rigoureuse, de ce matériel en histoire suisse contemporaine.
Outre une attention au dialogue pluridisciplinaire, nous portons un intérêt tout particulier à la question des archives et collaborons régulièrement avec les institutions de référence dans ce domaine que sont Memoriav, la Phonothèque nationale, la Cinémathèque suisse et les différentes unités d’entreprise de la SSR, sans négliger les archives régionales pour certains projets ponctuels.

Vera and Donald Blinken Open Society Archives (OSA)
The Open Society Archives (OSA) at Central European University (CEU) is a repository of important collections, primarily related to the history of the Cold War and grave international human rights violations, and a laboratory of archival experiments on new ways of assessing, contextualizing, presenting, and making use of archival documents.
OSA Archivum’s audiovisual collection comprises both archival holdings and material from our film library. As an audiovisual research center, we are actively collecting with an intent to establish a non-circulating video library comprising: regional propaganda; historical, feature and documentary films; regional TV news programs; historical home movies; and amateur footage—from the interwar period up to the present. Except in the case of some very important collections, OSA does not have the right to make most of the films in its care publicly available. These films and images can be used for research, exhibition, and educational purposes, and provide valuable sources for scholars—even when the images cannot be reproduced for copyright restrictions.
