Blurred figures gather in front of the fountain in Tophane in a photograph by Pascal Sebah, one of more than 300 historic photographs from the Metropolitan Museum, part of the new iteration of the Open Access Archnet website by the Aga Khan Documentation Center at MIT (AKDC@MIT) and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC). The invaluable resource for researchers was launched in the late 1990s. This is the first major revisioning of the site tsince 2013. While Archnet will continue to serve desktop users, it has been designed to work equally well on tablets and mobile phones. Mobile users can find their way to sites near them by using the “Near Me” to locate nearby sites, both historic and contemporary.
