Granularities of Dispersion and Materiality. Visualizing a Photo Archive about the Jewish Diaspora

Finding evocative and sensitive digital representations for cultural heritage collections requires careful implementation and collaboration, encompassing data modeling, cataloging, ideation and prototyping. In this article, we present design-oriented research focused on visualizing a photo archive about the Jewish diaspora. Our aim is to create a web platform that offers multiple exploratory and narrative experiences. We reflect on our approach, which involves both digital and analog methods, emphasizing the affordances of visual cultural heritage and the unique characteristics of a Jewish heritage collection.
