A / NOE: Texingtal: Topotheque Jubilee

Everyday history at the touch of a button: this is now possible in the Topotheque of Texingtal with a large number of entries. The round number of visible digital copies was the reason for the Topotheque team – even in personalized shirts – from Texingtal to have a drink with Mayor Günther Pfeiffer. A special feature of this Topotheque is the precise indexing of everyday objects. Entering a general term such as “trousers” or “shoes” opens an extensive list of detailed sub-terms. In the “shoe” example, this ranges from “aprés ski shoe” to “hiking shoe”. This clear presentation is possible by prefixing the general term “shoe”. The prerequisite for this is, of course, the close examination of the images by the Topothequers Barbara Hayden, Otto Kaspar, Reinhard Schwarz and Veronika Umgeher. The Topotheque‘s ability to search beyond the entered search term in the normal search leads to overall results in the simplest way. For example, if you only enter „shoe“, you will get all hits with „shoe“, as long as this term is separated by a space in a search term, such as „shoe – hiking boot“. For the individual detailed terms, continue searching with the full length search term. You can quickly find appropriate authentic templates for theater or film props, for example if you want to find a curtain that fits the period.
