Archaeology and photography: from field to archive

Summary/Abstract: This short article is intended to introduce the reader to the photographic archive of the Vasile Pârvan Institute of Archaeology in Bucharest. The parallel histories of early archaeology and early photography in Romania are described, with the emphasis on the link between them. The structure and content of the archive, along with some of its oldest items, are discussed, as are conservation problems and ongoing work on digitization of some of the most important images. The social meanings of the archive, and of some of the photographs within it, are also considered.
