Organization

Participatory Image Archives

The PIA project connects the world of data and things in an interdisciplinary manner. We explore the phases of the analogue and digital archive from the perspectives of cultural anthropology, technology and design. By exploring participatory knowledge practices in image archives in an interdisciplinary way, we engage with processes of unfamiliar disciplines and strive for a cooperative implementation thereof. For this purpose, we develop digital tools that support contextualising, linking and contrasting images. We are dedicated to the collaboration of the scientific community and the wider public, facilitating the preservation and dissemination of knowledge, and encouraging users to engage collaboratively with their own history and contemporary practices. In a series of workshops and interviews with future users, the new requirements of digital and process-oriented knowledge production will be elaborated. read more

PIA IIIF API

The material that can be consumed through the APIs is part of two collections from the Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Volkskunde. The first collection spans more than 100 years (1860 - 1970) of private photographs of the family Kreis in Basel. The second collection contains the photographic work of the Swiss journalist Ernst Brunner, who was active roughly between 1937 and 1962.

The IIIF API enable the consumption of images as well as their related IIIF JSON manifest, which contain metadata as well as image data. We have an IIIF Image API. The image material is licensed under CC-BY-NC 4.0 and as such needs to be considered as closed source. The images can be access through the Metadata as well as the IIIF Presentation API.
