Course on photographic conservation

Conservation and Preservation of Photographs
London, 27-29 October 1998

This three day course, run by International Academic Projects covers

Discussions cover the identification of different historical and
contemporary processes, the chemistry involved in the original
processes and their subsequent deterioration. Problems associated
with the preservation of collections in storage and on display are
considered and interventive conservation measures introduced in the
discussions include: dry and wet treatments, removal of mounts,
remounting, duplicating and copying. The course is aimed at
curators, conservators and others involved in caring for
