Digitising the Ursula Hintze Archive (1960s)

Ursula Hintze's graffiti archive has been digitised since 2007 and is in the process of being catalogued. It comprises:

- Black and white photographs of a selection of the graffiti taken in the late 1960s

- Written documentation of a selection of graffiti from the 1960s, including a card catalogue

- Drawings (from photos) by C. Link of a selection of the graffiti from the 1970s


One paper on the graffiti of Musawwarat was published by Ursula Hintze:
