Since its foundation in 1971, Fotostiftung Schweiz has built up one of the most comprehensive and representative collections of Swiss photography – from the beginnings up until the present. It oversees numerous archives of nationally and internationally significant photographers, as well as selected photo archives from companies, organisations or private individuals with a connection to Switzerland.
The Image Archive Online of Fotostiftung Schweiz provides an insight into the already catalogued collection and archive holdings and introduces selected photographers. It shows a cross-section of Swiss photography’s entire history, from the beginnings of photography, c.1840, to the present day. The Image Archive Online is constantly being updated with new objects and texts.
Around 37,700 digitized works can now be explored, free of charge, at https://fotostiftung.zetcom.net/en/.
