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
• 240-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)
and  includes a handheld microscope and a workshop notebook with  lecture
handouts, Quick ID Sheets for each process, and a selection of  readings on
photograph preservation. The Basic Photographic Sample Set,  consisting of
18 identified photographic and photomechanical processes, is  available with
registration for $75. Due to the hands-on nature of this  workshop, the 
number
of participants will be limited to 14.

The  Academy of Certified Archivists (ACA), a certifying organization  of
professional archivists, will award 15 Archival Recertification  Credits
(ARCs) to eligible Certified Archivists (CAs) attending this  workshop.
