Notes
A destructive earthquake hit Ljubljana on Easter Sunday 14th of April 1895. Seven people were killed and several others were wounded. In the city, the mayorship closed all the schools and stopped some of the factories. The earthquake caused damage to approximately 10 % of the buildings. These were later mostly taken down and Ljubljana began turning into a lively construction site. After the earthquake, the city went through important urbanistic changes that went hand in hand with the implementation of various other reforms. Ljubljana was given a more Slovenian appearance.
Along with others, in this collection we present photographs that were taken by a professional photographer Wilhelm Helfer who was chosen for the task by the mayorship of Ljubljana. Photographs, preserved by the Pictorial Collection of the National and University Library, depict the damage caused by the destructive earthquake as well as the lives of people faced with the consequences.
On the occasion of the 130th anniversary of the earthquake, we added photographs colourized with the DeOldify open-source tool to the Helfer's originals. This tool is part of the AI4Culture platform, which aims to promote the use of artificial intelligence in heritage institutions.
