The Hallstatt-born researcher left behind a broad scientific legacy, ranging from botany and archaeology to ethnology. With the digital indexing of Morton's photographs, the systematic processing of his scientific legacy has now begun. His photographic documentation provides a comprehensive insight into Morton's research and thus enables a better understanding of his legacy.

The development was made possible by the Kulturerbe Digital funding program. OÖ Landes-Kultur GmbH was awarded a grant of € 300,000 for the “Digitization of cultural and natural assets of the province of Upper Austria”. With additional own funds from the institution, more than half a million euros were available for this project.
