An information platform including 3150 listed objects that are based on inquiries of all municipalities and 500 illustrated sites of the Canton of Berne that are based on responses from offices in charge of caring for historic monuments. Since Mai 2006 additional 280 objects from all over Switzerland are available.
Unique objects are destroyed while many others are repeatedly cataloged and maintained. The ISIS makes all these objects known and allows for comparisons and valuations of them possible.
The industry created its own culture and aesthetics. The ISIS categorizes and considers industries from production to transportation with categories such as machines, archives, and high and low rise constructions.
The ISIS wants to make people aware of the industrial heritage of Switzerland and surronding areas near the border.
