Description: Photographs are among the most common objects in modern society. But think for a moment how you care for photos. Are your personal snapshots the photographic record of your family’s history kept in acid-free portfolios stored in climate-controlled rooms? Probably not. And unfortunately, that’s often the case with photographs held by museums and archives. Photos represent a diverse range of objects from 19th century daguerreotypes and wet plate negatives to gelatin silver, chromogenic color and inkjet prints of more recent times. Care of Photographs introduces participants to the history, technology, identification, and care of photographic materials. Topics include environmental monitoring, temperature and relative humidity, and the importance of cold storage. It is intended to help anyone who cares for photographic materials to better understand their collections and how to care for them. Each student receives two sample sets of photographs. Course fees cover the $50 cost of these samples.
Sample Set 1 (6)
Sample Set 2 (11)
Course Outline: Care of Photographs runs for four weeks. Please sign up at http://www.museumclasses.org and pay at http://www.collectioncare.org/tas/tas.html If you have trouble, please contact Helen Alten at helen@collectioncare.org
