One of the characteristic features of modern life is the omnipresence of images – in public life as well as in the private surroundings. At latest with coining the term “Visual history” at the beginning of the nineteen nineties historical disciplines are dealing with this ever growing pool of pictorial sources. This is also true for educational history – especially when keeping in mind that the use of images in an educational context is common practice since early modern ages.There are various digital picture archives to address the research questions of many historical disciplines. These databases, though, differ widely in purpose and design – and of course they cannot serve every scientific demand. As major topic the PCW will focus on the impact of the discipline on developing and maintaining of a picture archive.

Deadline: February 28, 2018.  

The Pre-Conference Workshop will take place in August 28, 2018.
