Parts of our museum was flooded and it will be temporarily
closed for at least 10 days. It should be re-openned in half of
November.
We experimentally digitalized several slides of
medium format from 1970s on Imacon scanner. The progographs are
from book "Paris" by Marie Šechtlová that was still not published
yet. Unfortunately we don't have neccesary finances to buy scanner
for this format so we can't continue with digitalization nor we can
publish the book, but we hope to solve this problem soon, since the
color matherials are aging more rapidly and are now perhaps in
greater danger than silver based black and white negatives we are
digitalizing.

We started work on digitalising archive of 35mm nitrate films
from 20's to 50's. Archive probably contains well over 10000
shots and unlike the archive of glass plate negatives it was not
censored by communistic regime of 50's and thus it contains photos
from 30's and nacist ocupation that was almost entirely eliminated
in the glass plate negative archive (as well as other similar
archives in country). It also contains number of reportages (such
as visit of president Masaryk, visits and funeral of president
Beneš), moment photography and photos from travels that was not
shot on large format.
Negatives was shot using good camera Leica and we scan them using
Minolta Scan Elite 5400 to 40 megapixels. From many of the shots
one can make beautiful enlargements even on the size of 30x45cm.
Part of the archive is however, because of instability of nitrate
base of the films, in bad shape. Scanning the films is also very
time consuming work and thus we will continue the work in parallel
with scanning the glass plates.
650 new photos in digital archive:
