Photography and archives: discovery, technology and innovation

A collaboration event from HAEU, Photoconsortium and EUreka3D-XR

On the 29th of May a rich conference will take place, organised in collaboration between Photoconsortium – International Consortium for Photographic Heritage and coordinator of the EUreka3D-XR project, co-funded by the EU under the Digital Europe Programme, and the prestigious Historical Archives of the European Union, the single, official repository for the historical documents of the institutions, bodies and agencies of the European Union, preserving and making available archival documents of EU institutions and private collections of European personalities, key politicians, movements and associations.

This half-day event, organised in the context of EUreka3D-XR capacity building effort, brings together professionals from renowned photographic institutions, research centres, and private image banks, to explore the evolving landscape of photographic archives. The three panels on Heritage, Technology, and Innovation aim to foster dialogue among public and private stakeholders involved in the preservation, management, and valorisation of photographic collections, also looking at how new technologies impact the workflow of heritage professionals.

Panellists and participants will reflect on the challenges and opportunities of photographic information in the digital age. The conference also aims to strengthen professional networks and promote exchange across institutions and fields of expertise.

Participation is free, but registration is mandatory.
