Collaborations

Europeana 

We are collaborating with Europeana on pilot projects to enrich certain documentary series by geolocating them and adding data to index their content. These enriched sources are used for teaching purposes, are republished in the Time Atlas interface, and are redistributed to the enriched provider institutions.

   Historical Museum of Lausanne

The iconographic database of the Historical Museum of Lausanne contains nearly 62,500 photographs, paintings and prints. The exploitation of this collection within the framework of the Icono Lausanne project should open new perspectives for the valorization of this heritage.

Archives of the City of Lausanne

The Archives of the City of Lausanne are the guardians of historical administrative documents, including the municipal censuses from 1804 onwards, representing  the main historical demographic sources for   reconstructing Lausanne population. 

Archives Cantonales Vaudoises 

The Vaud Cantonal Archives are the custodians of the cadastral series we have geolocated and extracted. We are developing a project on the Cadastre Rénové of 1885-1889, as well as training and awareness-raising initiatives for archive users and the general public.

BnF Data Lab 

The BnF Data Lab is a service for researchers who wish to work on the BnF’s digital collections. These collections represent a huge reservoir of data that are sometimes difficult to understand. The Time Machine Unit has developed pedagogical and research activities in partnership with BnF Data Lab to adapt cutting-edge computational approaches to extract and analyze information from BnF heritage collections. BnF’s Data Lab is also an institution where EPFL students can do a research internship. 

 ARCHiVE Center at the Giorgio Cini Foundation

Time Machine Unit is a partner of the ARCHiVe center at the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice in which it develops projects for the numbering and analysis of documentary heritage. The ARCHiVE center is an eligible institution for EPFL students to do internships.

The Alan Turing Institute | Coloring Cities Research Program

The Coloring Cities Research Program (CCRP) is a  research-led initiative develops open-source code to support an international network of low-maintenance, academia-led open data platforms that provide standardized microspatial data on the building stock, at the building level. Time Machine Unit collaborates with CCRP on several research fronts : vectorization of historical cartography and contribution of new information layers for the development of the Colouring Switzerland initiative.
