  • Lecture: Family photos as a source of contemporary history

    Family photographs are by far the largest source of images both for the history of the family and for contemporary history in the 20th century. The lecture will demonstrate how to work with family photos in contemporary history, where the problems of this source genre lie and what special potential for knowledge they offer. In the case of family photographs, contemporary historians and interested 'laymen' can and should work together in an exemplary manner.
