Workshop Alert! Workshop Alert! Workshop Alert!

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words… so is
The Care and Handling of Photographs in your Collection

Have you ever opened up a box of photographs in your collection and wondered just what the heck are those?!? Do the words Albumen or silver gelatin print, Daguerreotype, and tintype sound like some kind of weird foreign medication? How should you describe its condition once you figure out what it is? And what are the best ways to handle, display, and store it? If these are questions you have found yourself asking, this is the workshop for you! Join us as three experts help attendees learn to identify photographic processes, describe common condition issues, and discuss best practices for handling, storage, and display of photography collections.

Featured Speakers: Sylvie Penichon, Conservator of Photographs, Amon Carter Museum
John Rohrbach, Curator of Photographs, Amon Carter Museum
Barbara Brown, Conservator of Photographs, Harry Ransom Center
