Photographic collections, whether they are artistic, archival, or family heirlooms, are invaluable and intricate artefacts that demand special care.
This online course will provide participants with the elementary theory and guiding principles for preserving photographic collections.
Attendees will learn about the different historic and contemporary photographic processes and materials, understanding factors contributing to their deterioration and implementing methods to ensure long-term accessibility, and enjoyment.
