Das tschechische pohraničí im kulturellen Gedächtnis: Die Bildredaktion der ČTK als Akteur

The article deals with pictures of the Czech borderlands as part of the Czechoslovak cultural memory. It focuses on the Photo Editing Department of the Czechoslovak News Agency ČTK that was the main player in the fields of creating, storing, mediating, and consolidating visual knowledge (not only about the borderlands). It also gives insight into the Photo Editing Department’s practices of categorizing and keywording pictures, which had consequences on further publications of certain photos.
