dc.descriptionIn 2022, the Rhineland-Palatinate State Archives Administration acquired the photographic legacy of Herbert Ahrens, a Nazi-era photographer who produced approximately 66,000 images between 1933 and 1945. Manually indexing a collection of this scale would require many staff years. This workshop report describes the ongoing collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering to develop an AI-supported indexing workflow using multimodal language models. The project addresses successive challenges including facial recognition, automated metadata extraction, data protection compliance, and the assignment of retention periods.en_US
