Content presented in the exhibition
[edit]This table lists the exhibits shown in the extract exhibition ‘Colonial Traces - Collections in Context’. The exhibits come from various collections and archives at ETH Zurich and the status of cataloguing, digitisation and access varies.
The list is organised in such a way that the exhibit numbers are listed in the first column. These correspond to the exhibition modules 1 to 3 and the corresponding object number (the number after the dot). This makes it easier for participants to find in the list the exhibit shown in the exhibition.
The following columns then show which collection or archive the exhibits come from, the inventory number or signature and other metadata such as title, author and date.
The last columns then relate to the digital copies. The column with the links shows whether the exhibit is available digitally or not, while the other columns provide information on the terms of use, licence and citation.
Resources from the ETH Library's image archive have also already been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons (the link to the resources can be found in the last column of the table); all other digitally available resources can be accessed via the link provided.
For the exhibits that have not yet been digitised (indicated in the column ‘Link’), it is possible to take your own photographs in the exhibition and use the information from the list to describe the photograph.
One exception concerns the map ‘Schweizerland’ by Hans Friedrich Bossart (exhibit number 2.18). Due to copyright restrictions no digital reproduction of this map may be published. However, metadata and a link to the catalogue entry can be found in the list if you wish to reference this map.
