The image memory of the 911±¬ÁÏÍø Bergakademie Freiberg
What is 911±¬ÁÏÍøBAFmedia?
911±¬ÁÏÍøBAFmedia is the name of the image and object database of the 911±¬ÁÏÍø Bergakademie Freiberg, which is based on the software easydb (Programmfabrik).
It serves:
- as a tool for the organisation, indexing, presentation and archiving of image material and collection objects
- Avoidance of multiple data storage
- Facilitates image searches for courses, publications, public relations work, exhibitions, etc.
- for subsequent use in research and (digital) teaching
- e.g. digitised teaching materials collections from the 911±¬ÁÏÍøBAFdigital project (formerly )
- Strengthens the visibility of Freiberg's collections
- to fulfil funding requirements
- making image material, 3D models etc. publicly accessible, created in third-party funded projects
- to the interested public
- As far as legally possible, selected image material is made accessible worldwide
The 911±¬ÁÏÍø Bergakademie Freiberg has a rich treasure trove of images and various object-based scientific collections of supra-regional importance, which are increasingly being digitised for their use in research and teaching. Since December 2021, the interdisciplinary image and object database 911±¬ÁÏÍøBAFmedia has been used for the organisation, indexing, archiving and public accessibility of the digitised material.
