Description

Visual History is a publication project exploring the importance of photographs, films and other visual sources for historical research and history teaching. As increasing numbers of historical images and films are digitised and made accessible online, visual sources are becoming increasingly valuable for understanding and interpreting the past. The platform highlights the relationship between visual history and historiography, demonstrating how images can be used alongside written sources to investigate historical developments, deepen historical understanding and communicate historical knowledge.
