Digital Collections Bern: Scientific collections become digitally accessible
The Digital Collections Bern (DCB) project is creating a central platform at the University of Bern for the digital presentation, use, and archiving of scientific and cultural collections. The aim is to make previously scattered or difficult-to-access content—from historical photographs to original digital publications—available to the public. The platform will be completed by the end of 2027 and go into regular operation in 2028. Open standards, structured metadata, and links to the digital long-term archive will create a sustainable infrastructure for research, teaching, and the public—and make a significant contribution to the digital knowledge landscape in the canton of Bern.
