We invite you to an urban seminar by Mykyta Bilyi, which will focus on the collection of the Lviv Bus Factory digitized by the Urban Media Archive during the second half of 2023-2024.
The collection includes envelopes, photographs, photo albums, and photographic films of large, medium, and standard 35 mm format. The materials document important events for the plant: the arrival of foreign, student, and party delegations; tourist trips of the plant's employees; catalogs and reports; educational and cultural events that took place on the territory of LBF, etc. The collection covers the time period from the 1950s to the late 1980s.
During the urban seminar, we will look at the peculiarities of working with the collection, address the topic of industrial heritage and leisure in Lviv, and discuss the value of the collection for researchers and the future of digitized materials.
