Photographic Archive
The photographic archive preserves over 6000 photographic items, including prints, glass plate negatives, glass slides, albums, and early photographic materials. The core of the collection consists of photographs produced during research projects directed by Hans Peter L’Orange, Hjalmar Torp, and Einar Dyggve in Italy and the Mediterranean between the 1930s and 1950s. The archive documents monuments, excavations, and works of art in Italy, Greece, and the wider Mediterranean area.
A digital selection of the collection is available through the Alvin Platform for digital collections and digitised cultural heritage.
