Preservation Advisory Centre Training Day
Wednesday 24 February 2010, British Library Centre for Conservation, London
NW1 2DB
Photographic collections are found in libraries, archives and museums all over
the world. Their sensitivity to environmental conditions, and the speed with
which images can deteriorate present special challenges. This one day training
session is lead by Susie Clark, accredited photographic conservator. It is
aimed at those with responsibility for the care of photographic collections
regardless of institutional context.
The day provides an introduction to understanding and identifying
photographic processes and their vulnerability, information on common
conservation problems and solutions, and the preservation measures that can
be taken to prolong the life and accessibility of photographic collections.
Contact with real examples of different photographic processes is an important
feature of this training session which is therefore limited to only 15 places.
