Fonds Rieder

Photographs of Valais by 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

Recordings about Valais life by Basile Tabin

Le fonds Basile Tabin est l’un des 60 fonds sonores conservés à la Médiathèque Valais – Martigny. Le fonds a été déposé en 2000 à la Médiathèque Valais – Martigny. Il est constitué d’une trentaine d’enregistrements sonores, sur bandes magnétiques, et enregistrés par Basile Tabin (1904-2000) – chasseur de son actif en Valais jusqu’aux années 1990 dans la région de Sierre. Il contient en particulier des enregistrements à caractère ethnographique : captation de pièce de théâtre, de musique -essentiellement populaire – et un entretien sur support DAT avec Basile Tabin, alors âgé de 90 ans, qui revient sur ses souvenirs de famille.

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.
	Rainer Maria Rilke Manuscripts A lot of manuscripts, letters and pictures from the famous poet and novelist Rainer Maria Rilke, who spent the end of his life in Valais.
