Fortepan Method - Making Europe’s private visual history freely accessible
1 Sept 2022 - 31 Aug 2025
Fortepan Method aims to establish and promote an international digital private photo archive of the 20th century with a Creative Commons-based, free to use license. The project design is based on experiences of Fortepan.hu’s team; this good practice will be further developed and transferred to the European level. Our partners in implementing the project are Fundacja Edukacji Wizualnej (PL) and Associazione Culturale Photolux (IT).
During the project period we are collecting photos throughout Europe, edited images will be uploaded to the digital archive. Besides we will organize exhibitions in all three countries displaying curated photos collected.
The project is co-funded by the Creative Europe program of the European Commission.
