Products and brands

The archive has a climate-controlled archival facility. Besides its safekeeping mandate per se it also sees itself as a research, study and competence centre. A small exhibition space has been set aside for exhibitions and presentations focusing on the topical themes. A study and training room is available for processing, digitising and printing photographs, also providing premises for small-scale courses and a work environment for curators. An analogue darkroom and book storeroom are also provided. A database is being set up to record all the existing archive material and provide a public domain that is readily accessible online via the homepage.
