Description
Photolibrary, Archives, Right-Clearances, Licensing, phone: +49 221 474 474 0 mailto: cologne@united-archives.de Database: www.united-archives.com/n/ We bring images to market. We are walking on unconventional paths and we are different.
Our strengh is the use of state of the art technology to link our database or selected assortments via API to websites of market leading distribution channels worldwide.
Today we count approx 60.000 search inquiries every day. This means more than one search for an image by a client or via a channelpartner per second on a normal business day. This is - we assume - a market leading traffic in Germany and our potential to be attractive for supplieres of content.
Our goal is to secure, that every search leads to a positive result, which generates turnover.
We are always open to consider the acquisition of Archives, Photographer Lifeworks and even private albums and collections.
We hold already prestigious collections like the Carl Simon Estate or the IFTN Cinema Collection, two of our largest assets. We acquired the "old" archive of roba press, including the lifework of the photographer Siegfried Pilz in 2013.
Since 2014 we own the independent lifeworks of the travel photographers Hanna Seidel and Walter Rudolph and the amazing archive of Jakob Volk, who shoot the Cologne Area with a self constructed camera in the first 20 years of the last century.
In 2015 we acquired the lifework of Heinz Browers and his Browers Press Agency. He was focused on Munichs Schickeria in the 1960ties and 1970ties.
In 2016 we acquired Impress Images, a press agency, which was active for more than 30 years.
