Class photos
A journey through seven decades.
Between 1927 and 1995 Hubert and Walter Haagmans took around 50,000 photos of Zurich and Aargau school classes. Zurich’s educational publishers became aware of the collection, and decided to purchase and digitalise it. The pictures can be bought or viewed at www.klassenfotoarchiv.ch.
