DONATION TO THE SWEDISH NATIONAL ARCHIVES | Aerial Pictures
Since the 1980s, The IK Foundation has worked with aerial pictures in a large number of research projects as well as the development of methodology for aerial pictures in natural and cultural history. Through the takeover of early pioneering work on the subject (Esse Ericsson's Aerial Picture Archive) equally as more recent work/archives by Putte Hallberg and Lars Hansen, "The IK Foundation Collection of Aerial Pictures" spans about 70 years of aerial pictures with a special focus on the southernmost provinces in Sweden.
Through an early collaboration with, among others, the Erna &Viktor Hasselblad Foundation, development, publication and exhibitions of the collection have taken place. Since 2019 IK, in collaboration with the Thora Ohlsson Foundation, has carried out a digitisation of the collection and opened a dedicated department within The IK Workshop Society called iBirdsEye, an open resource for the development of the subject in an interdisciplinary spirit.
The physical archival material – which in addition to pictures also consists of writings, maps, notes, research papers, etc. – was donated during March 2021 by The IK Foundation to The Swedish National Archives (Riksarkivet).
