presented by the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts

 

September 22 & 23, 2009 – Save the Dates!

 

Hosted and cosponsored by:

The Athenaeum of Philadelphia

Philadelphia, PA

 

 

This two-day program will help your cultural institution to develop techniques for the identification of photographic materials and processes and to implement preservation strategies for the long term care of your materials.

 

Through lectures and hands-on demonstrations, learn how to:

·        Identify different types of photographic media

·        Best rehouse your photographic materials for preservation

·        Plan safe storage environments, including cold storage options

·        Develop appropriate collections care and handling procedures

 

This program is intended for staff that is involved in collections care activities or has responsibility for photograph collections, such as archivists, librarians, curators, collections managers, stewards of historic house museums, and records managers.

 

The cost to attend Focusing on Photographs: Identification and Preservation is $200 for CCAHA members and $225 for non-members.  Major funding for this program is generously provided by National Endowment for the Humanities.
