Answers</h3> <ol><li><a id="antwort1"/><a href="#frage1">What kind of pictures are available in the database?</a><br/>In the database you will find photographs including aerial views and posters relating to events and/or persons of importance for modern German history from 1860 up to now.</li> <li><a id="antwort2"/><a href="#frage2">How do I find pictures?</a><br/>There are several possibilities to find pictures: The "simple search" (the search box at the top of every page), the "advanced search" by using specific fields or the “topic search” by browsing via subject, person or locality.</li> <li><a id="antwort3"/><a href="#frage3">What does »topic search« mean?</a><br/>By browsing via subject, person or locality (=topic search) you can find pictures that have been assigned to different topic areas (i.e. "categorized"). There are two classification systems by subject, one system by person (i.e. an index of all persons to whom the Federal Archives keeps pictures) and two geographical classification systems ("Germany" and "world").</li> <li><a id="antwort4"/><a href="#frage4">Why do I see in some cases a note that the image cannot be shown instead of the image?</a><br/>If the Federal Archives hold the rights to a picture in analogue form only, i.e. not for digital use, a dummy is shown. In this case, please contact us and send us a completed "Request for Use" form as well as detailed information on your intended use. We will provide you with the picture if possible.</li> <li><a id="antwort5"/><a href="#frage5">What is a board?</a><br/>You can collect pictures on a board. Please, bear in mind that the board will be stored for four weeks for registered users only.</li> <li><a id="antwort6"/><a href="#frage6">How can I download high-resolution pictures?</a><br/>Once you have registered (free of charge) and been checked and activated by the Federal Archives, you can download high-resolution images as soon as you have paid the arising costs.</li> <li><a id="antwort7"/><a href="#frage7">May I use pictures for non-commercial websites?</a><br/>Yes, you can photos of the Federal Archives in this database on non-commercial websites (but not on social media!) under the precondition that you <br/>- quote the "Federal Archives" as source, <br/>- add the reference number of the pictures and <br/>- of name of the originator, i.e. the photographer.

What can I do?</a><br/>The Federal Archives describe pictures - if available - with the original text. If no original text is available, the picture is described by the archivists of the Federal Archives. In view of the large number of pictures, there may of course be inconsistencies in individual cases. For this reason we are always grateful for hints and additions.</li> <li><a id="antwort21"/><a href="#frage21">Why do some captions contain judgmental and wrong statements?</a><br/>ALL information that was originally available on or with the pictures is completely reproduced in the field "Original title" for reasons of critical research on historical sources. Especially pictures from the fonds »Bild 101 Propagandakompanien der Wehrmacht« and »Bild 183 ADN« may contain ideologically influenced or later added texts which sometimes do not correctly describe the picture"s content or the original situation</li> </ol> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <div id="footer-nav-jump" class="footer"> <footer> <div class="footer__top"> <div class="grid-container"> <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x"> <div class="cell medium-6 large-3"> <nav> <h4 class="std-header std-header--lvl4 b-m15">Record groups / Content</h4> <ul class="list-1"> <li class="list-1__item"><a href="/dba/en/search/?channelid=dcx-channel-channel_barch_bilder_neu&sort=_lastmodified%20DESC" class="arrow-link-1">Newly imported pictures</a></li> <li class="list-1__item"><a href="/dba/en/bestaende/" class="arrow-link-1">Record group</a></li> <li class="list-1__item"><a href="/dba/en/sammlungen/" class="arrow-link-1">Collections</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> <div class="cell medium-6 large-3"> <nav> <h4 class="std-header std-header--lvl4 b-m15">Usage</h4> <ul class="list-1"> <li class="list-1__item"><a href="/dba/en/merkzettel/" class="arrow-link-1">Boards</a></li> <li class="list-1__item"><a href="/dba/en/warenkorb/" class="arrow-link-1">Cart</a></li> <li class="list-1__item"><a href="/dba/en/content/benutzungsbedingungen" class="arrow-link-1">Terms of Use (AGB)</a></li> <li class="list-1__item"><a href="/dba/en/content/benutzungsarten" class="arrow-link-1">Types of use (private, media, science etc.)</a></li> <li class="list-1__item"><a href="/dba/en/content/kosten" class="arrow-link-1">Costs / Fees</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> <div class="cell medium-6 large-3"> <nav> <h4 class="std-header std-header--lvl4 b-m15">Search & Find</h4> <ul class="list-1"> <li class="list-1__item"><a href="#" onclick="$('#header-flyout-0').addClass('active');
