It went really well the first time around, and the students had good things to say. You can read their reviews of the course here in our latest newsletter (and you can even sign up!):

This 7-week online workshop is an introduction to the history, identification, and preservation of photographic materials. Participants will acquire hands-on identification skills and learn practical photograph preservation techniques. Using handheld 60x microscopes and the Basic Photographic Sample Set of photographic and photomechanical samples, they will learn how a variety of processes were created, why they look the way they do, and how they deteriorate. Knowledge about photographic processes is essential to their preservation and leads to a greater appreciation of the aesthetics and history of photographic prints.
Preservation topics include enclosures, handling guidelines, environmental monitoring, the effects of temperature and relative humidity on collections, and the importance of cold storage for certain photographic materials.
Processes examined in detail include but are not limited to the following: daguerreotype, albumen, collodion and gelatin printing-out processes (POP), matte collodion, gelatin silver, photogravure, offset litho, letterpress halftone, collotype, chromogenic color, inkjet, and dye sublimation.
The registration fee for this 7-week workshop is $575 (STUDENT PRICE $475) and includes the Basic Photographic Sample Set ($175 value), consisting of 18 identified photographic and photomechanical processes, and a 60x handheld microscope w/LED light.
The Academy of Certified Archivists (ACA), a certifying organization of professional archivists, will award Archival Recertification Credits (ARCs) to eligible Certified Archivists (CAs) attending this workshop.
The American Society of Appraisers, the International Society of Appraisers, and the Appraisers Association of America will award reaccreditation hours/professional development/continuing education credits for qualified appraisers attending this workshop.
