The
IK collections are catalogued under art, photography and library.
They have been created as a result of various projects or through
donations. The collections are frequently limited to subjects that
are or have been used by IK in its research and publishing work.
Some collections have been deposited in large public institutions
where interested parties can more easily view them; other collections
are exhibited for promotional reasons.
A long-term goal is not only to make many of IK's collections accessible
through books and exhibitions but also available worldwide via the
Internet.
On this page you can easily see a short description of some of the
collections that IK owns. If you wish to know more about any of the
collections please contact us at IK.
COLLECTIONS
The owners of a collection also have the added responsibility
of looking after it. Although IK was not set up to act as a steward or administrator
of valuable cultural or natural historical collections, we have accepted
the responsibility of taking care of collections that are related to the
subject matter we work with.
The IK reference library is an impressive and natural extension of our work
with information and enlightenment. Our unique collection of photographs
is the result of many years' work. Many of the pictures have been collected
during project work; their value to society has grown considerably and will
continue to do so.
Many of the IK collections have been donated to us by people or organisations
who believe in what we are doing. This trust also has its obligations and
we only say yes when we are sure we have or can create a long-term project
that fits in with our work. Our collections must give added value to our
work.
