Acessing centuries of documentation - Resources to improve access to Swedish rock art documentation and metadata

A significant advancement in the accessibility of Swedish rock art documentation has been achieved through a collaboration between GRIDH and SHFA. The project has developed new digital resources, including a Django-based solution, to enhance access to an extensive archive of rock art images spanning from the 17th century to modern high-resolution 3D recordings. This initiative aims to improve data availability for archaeologists and researchers, potentially transforming rock art research by providing unprecedented access to detailed documentation and metadata. The study reflects on the impact of these new resources, highlighting their potential to bridge gaps in historical documentation and facilitate broader research.
