Documentation and Digitization of the Mansfeld Gallery — Corporate Art Collection of the VEB Mansfeld Kombinat “Wilhelm Pieck” As part of this project, I was responsible for the systematic documentation and digitization of the Mansfeld Gallery, one of the largest corporate art collections in the former GDR. The collection includes around 500 works (paintings, prints, drawings, photos, watercolors and sculptures), reflecting both regional and international artistic production, industrial history of mining and metallurgy and cultural policies of the period. My tasks encompassed provenance research, cataloguing artworks, developing metadata structures, and preparing the collection for digital accessibility. I combined art historical expertise with structured data management, ensuring both scholarly precision and practical usability. Key skills applied and developed: • Provenance research & art historical analysis • Cataloguing & metadata design • Digital archiving & collection management • Cultural heritage preservation • Curation This role strengthened my ability to bridge art history, digital humanities, and collection care, making a historically significant corporate art collection accessible for research, preservation, and future exhibitions. Collaborating with artists, photographers and art conservators brought the process to life – every detail, every texture captured and preserved, making the collection accessible for generations to come.
