Since the last update, the German RIdIM office has worked intensively on the recording of music iconographic images in the following collections:
- Dresden, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen. Skulpturensammlung (RIdIM-Sigel: DDsks)
- Stuttgart, Staatsgalerie (RIdIM-Sigel: Ssg)
- Dessau, Anhaltische Gemäldegalerie /RIdIM-Sigel: DEag)
The records on objects of the Dresden Sculpture Collection contain links to records with object data and often also with images in the Online Collection of the Dresden Art Collections. The online collection of the Stuttgart State Gallery often features object data with object photos under the CC-licence "CC 0 Public Domain".
Additions, in part with pictorial material, were made to holdings that had already been viewed:
- Bamberg, Museen der Stadt Bamberg (RIdIM-Siglum: BAhm)
- Berlin, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Antikensammlung (RIdIM-Siglum: Bam)
- Berlin, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Kunstbibliothek (RIdIM- Siglum: Bkb)
- Berlin, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Kunstgewerbemuseum (RIdIM- Siglum: Bkm)
- Berlin, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Kupferstichkabinett (RIdIM- Siglum: Bkk)
- Berlin, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Nationalgalerie (RIdIM- Siglum: Bng)
- München, Bayerisches Nationalmuseum (RIdIM- Siglum: Mbnm)
The RIdIM office is endeavouring to increase the number of images in its web application. As a result of the search for usable images in the museums' own online collections, data records and information in the database of the German RIdIM-branch are sometimes updated. For the images that RIdIM can show in its web application, the image rights in general lie with the institutions indicated and the producers of the images, possibly also the producers of the objects, and in no way with the RIdIM office. Please observe image rights and, if applicable, the rights granted to you by the CC licences mentioned in each case.
Furthermore, the German RIdIM branch has begun to review the subject keywords and Iconclass notations that have been in use for decades and, if necessary, to adapt them to the current usage. A list of the subject keywords und Iconclass notations that have already been edited can be found here. In spring, RIdIM updated the address index of the museums it had looked at. The renaming of museums can be traced in a list of reviewed collections (menu item "Cataloguing"/"Collections").
