The internet provides a huge range of illustrative material. Ideally, research is conducted by means of a search engine. The most significant of these is currently http://images.google.com. The search can be specified well using particular settings. The longest list with links to image databases is available from ‘Digital Librarian’: http://www.digital-librarian.com/images.html. For art and architecture in Germany and Europe, some 2 million images are available from http://www.bildindex.de. Images depicting Jewish life in Eastern Europe are available in the archive of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York (http://www.yivoinstitute.org). The German Historical Museum possesses an extensive database of images (http://www.dhm.de/datenbank). The image range offered by the German Historical Museum in Washington is highly extensive, if limited to German history (http://www.germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org). Images relating to Poland and Central and Eastern Europe are available from Fundacja Osrodka KARTA (http://karta.org.pl). The German Federal Archives are also suitable for research (http://www.bild.bundesarchiv.de) as is the Bildarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz (Prussian Cultural Image Archives): http://bpkgate.picturemaxx.com, although the pictures available here are marked with the watermark that is only removed when the picture rights have been purchased. The image agencies ‘Ullstein Bilderdienst’ (http://www.ullsteinbild.de), Getty Images (http://www.gettyimages.com) and Corbis (http://www.corbis.com) work on a commercial basis.
