Final Call for Presentations & Papers: Photography Collections of (Financial) Companies
Noticia publicada el 04-03-11
Deadline: Friday, 11 March
Workshop: Amsterdam on Thursday 19 May 2011 |
-A Corporate Historical View-ING, Amsterdam on Thursday 19 May 2011
The objective of the workshop is to learn more about the existence,
importance and use of corporate photography collections in (financial)
organizations for a broader public.
The widespread use of photography by companies led to the development of
often extensive corporate photography collections, many of which were kept
in relative obscurity in a company's historical archives. The aim of the
workshop is to put these corporate photography collections in the spotlight,
with a focus on photography at financial companies. Where are these
collections? How are they preserved and managed? Who knows about them? How
are they used? How can we see these collections?
The program committee encourages the submission of papers with specific
emphasis on the following areas:
• Corporate photography collections in financial institutions
• Corporate photography collections in museums and public archives
• Use of corporate photography collections at exhibitions and in
publications
The program committee will consider papers dealing with the topics mentioned
above. The aim of the workshop is to encourage creative thinking and debate
among the participants. As such, the program committee is especially
interested in presentations that contain not only a theoretical aspect, but
which in addition actively engage the audience in observation and
discussion.
Archivists, curators, researchers, scholars, photographers or
corporate-designers, interested in presenting a paper or outlining their
field of work in relation to the topic, should send an abstract (of approx.
500 words) to: info bankinghistory.de by Friday 11 March
2011.
The workshop committee consists of:
• Ingrid Elferink, ING, Historical Archive
• Theo Kamphuis ING, Historical Archive
• Hans Rooseboom, Rijksmuseum
• Ulrike Zimmerl, UniCredit Bank Austria AG, Historical Archive
