The project 'Associated Media of Austro-Hungarian Zoological Education (AMAZE) – Zoological wallcharts and glass lantern slides at the University of Vienna' aims to establish interwoven visual and material studies as a central concern of the history of education. The project will pioneer the exploitation of two types of serial media as sources for the history of education: a) one-off, handpainted educational wallcharts and b) glass lantern slides. The basis of the project are two unique historical teaching collections held at the Department of Evolutionary Biology (University of Vienna). The project will make these archival collections accessible to the general public.  The working hypothesis of the project is that visual and material culture was key to internal colonialism in the sciences of the Habsburg Empire.
