CERL Seminar "Visual Approaches to Cultural Heritage"

The Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL) and ETH Library are holding the seminar "Visual approaches to cultural heritage" at ETH Zurich on 14 March 2018. The ‘icon turn’ has drawn the attention of scholars to visual material and its interpretation. This approach offers a wide range of ways for it to be combined with text-based scholarship, thus opening up new perspectives. Image-based search tools to sources and the visual presentation of research results have, however, not emerged equally as fast. ETH Library, the Swiss centre for technical and natural scientific information, has therefore seized the opportunity to organise the CERL Spring Seminar 2018 with a view to discussing innovative forms of access to and the visualisation of research results.
