Photos and film on Yemen are scattered across the globe. Material created by those that travelled to Yemen for official and non official purposes sits between amateur to professional photos, and films created. Some are sketches, and made by artists. There are many photo collections that reside within libraries in Yemen, and in the hands of families, and households. In the late 30's we witness collections, and works done by local photographers. There are also photo collections on Yemeni delegations in different cities, and world capitals.
Our researchers have built extensive indexes that catalog the available material in libraries in Australia, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, Europe, India, Iraq, Japan, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, The United Kingdom, and The United States. We also have built an extensive collection of 2,300 photos and will be launching them online. These photos were either purchased from multiple owners, or are digital copies made whilst the originals are retained with the owners. The challenge with any photo is identifying it in terms of location, place, people, buildings, landscape, and date. We have worked on linking photos together, and using such linkages to assist in enriching our understanding of the photo, and its place across the historical timeline on Yemen. We also have reviewed books, newspapers, and magazines that present the same photo with a clear description, and finally we have been blessed with individuals that came forward and identified a photo, and in sometime gave it a context that is missed. If you have material you want to donate please do not hesitate to contact us. |

The Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (National Museums in Berlin) and the Musikinstrumenten-Museum (Museum of Musical Instruments) of the Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung (State Institute for Music Research) of the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation) offer you digital access to their extensive collections by means of online publishing.
The 15 museums and four institutes of the Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin (National Museums in Berlin) form one of the largest and most important museum institutions in the world. They preserve the cultural heritage of many different cultures and epochs more than perhaps any other museum institution and therefore perceive themselves as a universal museum on the same level as the Louvre in Paris, the British Museum in London, the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (National Museums in Berlin) preserve more than five million collection objects as well as archival documents and library collections, artistic travel, architecture and document photographies as well as multimedia contents such as film, audio and video documents - altogether far more than can be displayed in the permanent and special exhibitions. Due to this abundance of objects, successive digital access is being introduced to all collection objects.
