Abstract

Very few teaching experiences with Photography exist despite the excellent results obtained from its application to education. A model is presented that was developed by the Faculty of Information Sciences of the Universidad Complutense of Madrid, under the title “Fotohistoria”. Its main goals are to promote student participation and training; and at the same time create an important historical phototheque, of diverse contents and outstanding and hitherto unpublished documents, which are made available for non-commercial use and free of rights. The end result of this experience is a historical image bank made up of seven hundred photographs coming from the private collections of 244 students, and dated between 1880 and 1975.
