ISSUE No.7 – Digitizing photographic heritage: the PHOTHEREL project by Jan Baetens

Photherel is an online project addressing the complex information structure offered by visual media, and in particular photographic heritage, documenting the (fairly) recent past. It touches on several domains: visual and media literacy, digital repositories of visual cultural heritage, conservation of endangered visual cultural heritage, distributed course content creation for e-learning, and using a museum or archive in an e-learning context. This article deals mainly with the basic theoretical stances defended during the elaboration of the project, which attempts to valorize the cultural aspects of digitization.

SUBMISSIONS

Research Issues welcomes submissions that provide overviews of new and emerging themes and research topics, reflections on the process of research, reviews of particular research methods or techniques, or discussions of current issues in art, design and media research.  Each issue consists of one paper focused on a distinct topic and which provides guidance to further reading and resources for further exploration. The primary audience is research students, but the publication is also likely to be of interest to research degree supervisors and other researchers in art, design and media.
