The BURG Archive is integrated
New to prometheus is an image database from Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle with 3,296 records. The archive holds a unique collection of images documenting the history of BURG, its artistic works, people, and events. It includes black-and-white negatives by former university photographer Karl August Harnisch, which he produced on behalf of BURG between 1959 and 1997, mainly on 9 × 12 cm glass plates. These document the artistic and creative work produced at BURG and provide an insight into the development of art and design in the GDR. The glass plates were digitized in one project and entered into the archive database with the corresponding metadata.
