The omnipresence of photographic media belies the complexity and variety of techniques used to create these images. From the earliest cased daguerreotypes and ambrotypes, to tintypes, hand-colored silver gelatin prints, and oversize contemporary color photographs, the variety of photographic processes and supports requires collections managers to have a unique set of knowledge and skills for proper identification, care, and housing. Photographs are also frequently accessed by researchers, duplicated for publication, and placed on exhibition, creating additional preservation challenges.<br><br>This two-day program will focus on the fundamentals of identifying and caring for photographic collections. Through lecture and hands-on demonstrations, topics will be intertwined over the course of the program to give participants a holistic view of identifying photographic materials, housing and caring for these collections, developing appropriate handling and display procedures, and establishing safe storage environments. <br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#632423'>Topics To Be Covered Include:</span></strong> <br> • Photographic processes and structure <br> • Identification and care of cased photographs and 19th- and 20th-century prints <br> • Handling and labeling photographic materials <br> • Housing solutions for photographic collections <br> • Preservation considerations for photographic collections <br> • Identification of negatives and color prints<br> • Environmental guidelines for photographs <br> • Cold storage for photographic collections <br><br>This program is intended for collections care staff responsible for photographic collections, such as librarians, archivists, curators, collections managers, stewards of historic house museums, and records managers. <br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#632423'>Speakers:</span></strong><span style='color:#632423'> <br></span><strong><i><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Jennifer Jae Gutierrez</span></i></strong>, Arthur J.
