This course will reinforce and supplement the material covered in Care of
Photographic Collections I. The class will include both lecture and
practicum sessions. Course work will focus on: reviewing the unique
characteristics of the various photographic processes; special
stabilization problems related to early cased objects, glass plate
negatives, and photographic albums; cleaning of negatives and cased images;
solutions to commonly encountered preservation issues; parameters which
determine the treatment options for gelatin photographs; and an
understanding of digital images and their preservation.For discussion in
class, each participant is asked to bring a photographic preservation
dilemma from their collection. This could be a single photograph with
special problems, a sampling from a group of photographs with related
problems, a slide or PowerPoint presentation which illustrates preservation
concerns within the institution. They may be focused on storage, access, or
administrative issues.
