What are the defining characteristics of individual photographic processes?
How does environment affect the lives of photographic objects? In this 4-day
intensive workshop, you will develop identification skills and knowledge
about fine art and historic photographic processes, from the daguerreotype
to digital prints. This workshop is intended for curators, collectors,
archivists, collection managers, and anyone who studies or appreciates
photographic prints.

Using handheld 60x microscopes and a large set of photographic and
photomechanical samples, you will learn how a variety of processes were
created, why they look the way they do, and how they deteriorate. Group ID
sessions, using a digital microscope and screen projection, will allow
participants to practice their identification skills in a guided setting.
Preservation topics include enclosures, handling guidelines, environmental
monitoring, the effects of temperature and relative humidity on collections,
and the importance of cold storage for certain photographic materials.

Over 30 different processes are studied in great detail, from how
daguerreotypes are made and how they are best preserved, to how long-lasting
inkjet prints are created, and how to preserve and store color photographic
materials and cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate-based photographic
film.

Registration Includes:
• 4-day workshop
• 260-page color notebook
• 60x LED handheld microscope
• OPTIONAL: Basic Photographic Sample Set

The registration fee for this 4-day workshop is $795 (STUDENT PRICE $645)
