Photography and archives: discovery, technology and innovation

A public event for heritage and archives professionals and creators, organised by Historical Archives of the European Union

This hybrid event, organised by the Archives with Photoconsortium and the EUreka3D-XR project, brings together professionals from renowned photographic institutions, research centres, and private image banks to explore the evolving landscape of photographic archives.
What common challenges do photographic archives face, and what makes each case unique? How can new technologies support archival expertise? And how do we ensure that photographic heritage remains relevant, legible, and enriching for future generations?

This half-day event is organised by the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) with Photoconsortium and the EUreka3D-XR project, co-funded by the EU under the Digital Europe Programme. Held in the context of the annual Assembly of Photoconsortium, the International Consortium for Photographic Heritage, the conference 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.

Panelists and participants will have the opportunity to 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.
