Cultural / Context information for the jury

The Romanovs were photography pioneers. In the early 20th century they owned the world's first portable cameras capturing almost every meaningful event in their lives. On July 17, 1918, the last Tsar of the Russian Empire, Nicholas Romanov, was executed with his wife and five children by the Bolsheviks. To pay tribute to the family, we merged a large set of visual data with transmedia storytelling to piece out the big picture of a "lost Russia". This vast family chronicle is a detailed first-hand witness account of the early 20th century; for decades this part of Russian history was eradicated from school-books and kept in the dark during Soviet rule. Our project aims to show that learning history can be compelling and interactive. Working on this large set of visual data and adapting our historical research to social media platforms allowed us to make history easily accessible to younger audiences.
