Settled areas and landscapes are always changing. For politicians, spatial planning experts, architects and the public affected by these changes, information on the type and speed of the changes holds a decisive interest. Documentation on these changes is required for any serious discussion on their cause and to work out strategies and cost instruments for managing the challenges that emerge from the change process. Photography makes it possible—in contrast to abstract representational forms, e.g., maps and plans—to present every aspect that is important for sensual-emotional awareness and an experience of the space. In Switzerland, an entire range of institutions with different orientations offer image material for research on localities and landscapes. In the following contribution, four different types of photographic archives are excellently presented.
