Phototheque
Our photo library offers direct access to over 90,000 reproductions.
Upon request, the photo library can research and offer reproductions of collection items. For a fee, you can use the photos privately, scientifically or commercially. The calculation is based on the price recommendations of the German Association of Medium-Sized Enterprises Photo Marketing.
Currently, the photo library has about
- 16,000 prints
- 18,000 negatives
- 3,000 Ektachromes
- 45,000 digital reproductions
with illustrations of objects from the collections of the Stadtmuseum Berlin.
The photo library is in transition from an analog image archive to a digital photo library. This also involves a change from the conventional management of analog image carriers to the electronic management of digital reproductions. The web-based documentation system DAPHNE is used for this purpose. It can also be used to access and manage the historically grown stocks of analog image carriers.
