Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.6.1. Finding and selecting historical images

Course subject(s) 2. Water under the bridge: What is water culture?

Historical photos, maps and other materials are important to gain an understanding of the water system you are working on. For the Ripples exercise of this week, we want you to find images that visualize the history of your water object. Because it is not always easy to find these images, we will give you a hand in searching for historical photos and help you look for and interpret historical maps.

First, Hilde will discuss where to look for historical materials, how to interpret them, and how to use them properly to communicate the story you want to tell.
