Welcome to Image Archive Online
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. Several tens of thousands of images can already be viewed. The Image Archive Online is constantly being updated with new objects and texts.
Using the shopping basket, you can compile a selection of images and download the list as a PDF file. Image files for publication purposes can be requested via the order form. Do you have any information or feedback on the images in our collection, for example on the people depicted, location details or other catalogue entries? Share your knowledge with us.
