Open Datasets

Fonds Charles Rieder

Photo : In front of the Arsenal, Sion, 1900. By Charles Rieder, Médiathèque Valais – Martigny, used under CC BY

Charles Rieder, owner of the Café de Genève in Sion, was also an amazing photographer who left us 243 negatives on glass plates, taken between 1890 and 1920. The subjects are conventional: portraits, processions, celebrations, but the photographer's perspective is original and not devoid of humour

Below you can find some cultural datasets which would be a good fit for this year Mix'n'Hack in Sion. But of course, participants can work on the cultural datasets of their choice. Have a look at the full list of Swiss Cultural Datasets for more inspiration.

Aerial Photographs Eduard Spelterini

Between 1890 and 1910 Eduard Spelterini (1852-1931) undertook a number of travels by balloon over Switzerland and other countries. While doing this, he took photographs from above. Pictures from a bird’s eye view from this time are very rare, so this collection is an important contribution to historical research.
