This project investigates the forms of representation of Swiss graphic design history in publications and exhibitions. Linguistic content, the choice of artefacts, their arrangement and book and exhibition design serve to construct historic realities that influence the perception of history. The most important publications and exhibitions will be shown in context for the first-ever time. It is expected that the analysis of content and the design of “historic design sources” will form a new basis for scholarly investigations into the history of graphic design in Switzerland.
