Abstract
The photo archive at the Institute of Art History at the Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU) in Poznań is over 120 years old. Forgotten for many decades, the oldest 10,000 glass slides and photographic reproductions have survived to this day. In the last few years, however, they have been cleaned and become part of a new research unit, the Audiovisual Archive at the AMU Faculty of Art Studies. The Poznań photo archive was inextricably linked to different Poznań universities, which, due to historical and political reasons, were in the past one hundred years administered by either Poles or Germans. When the photo archive was inventoried anew, the historical collections of different institutions were taken into consideration, i.e., collections were organized according to their historical affiliation to German or Polish Poznań universities.
