Translating the Thesaurus of the Pictorial Archive
of the German Colonial Society

https://www.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/afrika/bildsammlung_en.html

The Bildarchiv der Deutschen Kolonialgesellschaft, hosted by the University of Frankfurt Library, is an online, fully searchable archive of 50,000 nineteenth- and early twentieth-century photographs once owned by the German Colonial Society. In October 2003, GNARP received a request from colleagues in Frankfurt to help make the site searchable in English. Helene Baumann of Duke University, then the GNARP contact partner for African Studies, volunteered to lead the effort. With a Coutts Nijhoff grant from the Western European Studies Section (WESS) of ACRL, Baumann has launched a project with Frankfurt Africanists that aspired to establish global searches of historical archives of African colonial photographs in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States.

The Bibliographic Control working group engaged in a cooperative international undertaking to translate the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2) into German. Roger Brisson, then-Coordinator of the German Resources Project; Heidi Hutchinson, librarian at the University of California–Riverside; and Monika Münich of the University of Heidelberg Library coordinated the effort. The translation project was completed in 2002 and published by Saur Verlag: Anglo-Amerikanische Katalogisierungsregeln (ISBN: 3-598-11432-X).
