Since the 1990s, VOX has moved increasingly in the direction of producing projects that combine photography and technologies. The year 2005 has marked a turning point for the centre, which has created a major Fonds documentaire (Documentary Collection) with the goal of contributing to the advancement of knowledge regarding the history of and issues involving the image, both contemporary and historical. The development of VOX’s digital activities also includes support for the production of mediatic works with the goal of encouraging experimentation in new media by contemporary artists.

THE FONDS DOCUMENTAIRE DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE QUÉBÉCOISE
The Fonds documentaire brings together visual
documentation of the work of more than 120 Quebec artists.
It makes accessible on the Web, free of charge, reproductions
of almost 7,000 works form 1950 to the present. In addition
to a database with an advanced search engine that lets
users consult artists’ images and texts about their
works, the Fonds documentaire includes artists’
projects, thematic paths, and visual essays that offer
both the general public and the art community a chance
to better understand image practices in Quebec.
Production of this database was made possible thanks to financial assistance from the Department of Canadian Heritage as part of the Canadian Culture Online Funding Program.
