A professional conference for photographic and audiovisual archivists called the Image and Research Conference (Antoni Varés Conference) was held in Girona, Spain, from 16 to 19 November 2022. From photo restoration, digitisation issues and 3D modelling of the photograph as an artefact to the use of artificial intelligence in collections, the participants discussed issues in a wide range of fields.
On June 11, 2022, Gergely Prőhle, Director of our Foundation, visited Archduke Simeon von Habsburg in Vaduz, who put at our disposal a collection of nearly 300 photographs.
The supposedly last photograph of József Cziráky was discovered after more than sixty years in the archives of the Otto von Habsburg Foundation.
In preparation for the 100th anniversary of the death of Otto von Habsburg’s father, Charles I, the last Austrian Emperor and King of Hungary (as Charles IV), three of our Foundation’s colleagues, Szilveszter Dékány, Bence Kocsev and Gergely István Szűts, conducted a short research in the public collections of Vienna.
