Here are the upcoming online professional development opportunities at Museum Study for the next two months.



Understanding Photographic & Graphic Arts Materials course begins Oct 2 on MuseumStudy.com Join photographic materials conservator Kim DuBois for Understanding Photographic & Graphic Arts Materials. This course introduces the various non-paper supports that contain both positive and negative images from the dawn of photography through the 20th C. The need for a stable support led to photographs being made on metal, glass, and cellulose-based & polyester film. Each was developed for a specific type of photography process, or for the development of new materials at hand.

The most commonly recognized and long-lived supports are the film-based image processes. All of these items require different approaches and materials for their proper care and storage.

Using the evolution of photography and printing media timelines, the participants learn the characteristics & appearance to help identify the photographic products. Each process is introduced with its particular ageing process, inherent vice in materials, and deterioration appearances to guide the decision-making process of preservation care & access or display.

Planning for a disaster scenario that could significantly damage a collection is difficult but essential. Fires, floods and accidental damage do occur, and knowing how to act could save precious items and collections from destruction. This one-day course has two parts. Part one focuses on strategic steps to manage the risks and effects a disaster might have on a collection. Part two demonstrates the key practical conservation skills and techniques required to salvage a collection should disaster occur.



Concessions and early bird rates available.
