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.
-
Detail 40 megapixel scan in full resolution.
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.
