University of Graz. Institute of History / Research Area Southeast European History and Anthropology – SEEHA
The main objective of the Visual Archive Southeastern Europe is to assemble historical and contemporary visual materials on Southeastern Europe. VASE seeks to draw attention to the visual as primary source, to enhance visual studies as a technique and method and thereby enrich the primarily text-based historical-anthropological research. By providing different types of images – e. g. photos and postcards – VASE aims at reflecting the (self-)images of Southeastern Europe, both among the academic community as well as on society at large.
