‘Visual Analytics for Images from Colonial Contexts’ (VABiKo) – Survey for a needs analysis 

Background information

This survey is being conducted by the J. C. Senckenberg University Library between 19.1.2026 and 19.1.2026. It is part of the project ‘Visual Analytics for Images from Colonial Contexts’ (VABiKo):
https://vabiko.eu/

The image collection is currently still presented as the ‘Colonial Image Archive’ of the University Library of Frankfurt am Main:
https://sammlungen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/kolonialesbildarchiv

The aim of the project is to completely overhaul the current online presence of the image collection, which is outdated in many respects. To this end, we would like to invite the wider user community to support us with their experiences of the current presentation of the photographs and, ultimately, with ideas and requirements for a future image portal.

We would be grateful if you could take part in the following short survey.

 

Information on participating in the survey

It will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to answer the questions. Please note: The survey cannot be interrupted and continued at a later date.
