HistoSwiss

HistoSwiss is a Swiss project organized into three areas: a sources section, a specialist/results section, and an educational section. It maintains its own collection of historical sources, including old postcards, for creating comparison images and for documenting cantonal and federal heritage objects.

The project includes databases searchable by locality and by year or decade, as well as blogs for historical image topics and specialist contributions from project participants. Users are invited to upload historical postcards, contribute their own articles, and create regional sub-maps as a basis for group project work.

The educational section allows users to create regional sub-maps directly from the map interface with a few clicks. These local maps and group works can be exported locally or saved on the platform for further project development.

The sources section features a dedicated blog called Histopics where comparison images are created from the project's own collection of historical sources. This collection includes old postcards used specifically for generating comparison visuals.

The specialist section hosts a blog named Histoswiss where all contributions from project participants are published. This area serves as the central hub for specialist results and expert articles.

The project covers multiple Swiss cantons including VD, VS, BE, FR, JU, NE, SO, and extends to other regions like AG, BL, BS, and ZH. The platform supports creating local maps for these specific geographical areas.

The official website of HistoSwiss is histoswiss.ch.
