The archive — photos, magazines, map
The archive is EnaArchive’s annual licence: the town’s photo and document collection, published on its own subdomain (<yourtown>.enaarchive.enacast.com) in the languages you choose.
Photos
Section titled “Photos”- Batch upload from the backoffice: for every photo, AI proposes a title, approximate date, place and tags from the image and your list of places; the archivist reviews and confirms. Nothing is published without a person in the loop.
- AI restoration: natural colourisation, scratch and noise removal, without adding or removing anything. Reimagination: how the photographed scene would look today. Both variants carry a visible “generated with AI” label and the original is always one click away (slider comparison).
- Places and events: every photo belongs to a place (with coordinates) and may be part of an event. The map shows places over historical cartography (IGN topographic maps and ICGC orthophotos by decade) with a time control; each place’s timeline orders its photos by year.
Magazines and bulletins
Section titled “Magazines and bulletins”- Upload the PDF and the system extracts the pages as images, the text of every page and a semantic index.
- Word search with the hit highlighted on the scanned page.
- Natural-language questions: the answer cites the pages it comes from; if the archive has nothing, it says so.
- Scanned PDFs without a text layer need OCR first (we do it during the initial load).
“Then and now” with the routes
Section titled ““Then and now” with the routes”Every stop of a heritage route can link a place in the archive: the stop’s page shows the historical photos of that very corner, and the archive gains visitors who arrive from the street.
Who works on it
Section titled “Who works on it”- The archivist or the culture department: upload, review and publish from the backoffice (access limited to their own town).
- Us: initial load of the collection, OCR of the magazines, bulk restorations and maintenance.
Privacy and rights
Section titled “Privacy and rights”No cookies or tracking on public pages; data hosted in the EU; data-processing agreement. Photos with identifiable people are published under the archive’s own criteria (historical memory, public interest) and removed on request.
