We are celebrating having reached 5000 digitized photographs
from 35mm film. We have been working on digitizing this format
since March 2005, and have already digitized the majority of
preserved 35mm films by Josef Jindřich Šechtl. We plan to prepare
an exhibition in our museum in 2007, of Josef Šechtl's photographs,
taken using vintage Leica I and II cameras, from the 1920s to the
1950s.
However, our project of digitizing our archive is not complete
yet. We still need to process a number of glass plate negatives of
sizes greater than 18×24cm, and we have so far only experimented
with digitizing medium and large format films. Currently the
digitized archive consists of: 7500 digitized glass plate negatives
dating from 1869 to 1950s; 267 films (6×6 or 6×9 cm) from 1950s to
1990s; 750 photographic prints dated from 1866 to 1950s; 300
hand-colored slides dating from 1900s to 1930s; and more. Overall,
as of 25th May 2006, it contains 13635 photographs, with 334 new
photos added to the archive since our last update.

We finally found problem causing certain version of Microsoft
Internet Explorer to stop displaying images after visitng certain
parts of our digital archive. The problem was caused by bug in
Internet Explorer in reading EXIF data. As an workaround we removed
all EXIF data from images on our webpages so the bug should no
longer reproduce.
