Description:
The project focusses on the photographic archive collection of Robert W. Reford. On the one hand, 8,200 new photographic documents (nitrate negatives, slides, glass plate photographs, etc.) will be digitized by IDnum Technologie. On the other hand, a multimedia experiment by Umanium will reveal the richness of Robert W. Reford's archive collection, particularly the portraits he made of his wife. The digitization of documents on old media will make it possible to integrate new portraits of Elsie Reford into the multimedia installation.

Visitors' appreciation of the site will be assessed by observing their behaviour.
