Archive Structure, Access to the Categories (Picture Attributes) and the Classification System

The archive consists of 7900 single records – identifying labels, information in the form of texts and tables, and pictures.

In general, 31 subsequent single records are related to one card (one microfiche):
- the first record of such a record series represents the digitization of the entire microfiche card.
- the second record shows the identifying label
- the third record shows the content of a card
- records 4 to 31 show the single pictures on the card

For each picture, the following information is given:
- the microfiche card number

- the categories (picture attributes), according to the classification system
- inscriptions as found on the bottom of a drawing or painting, left side
