Photograph conservator Gawain Weaver will lead this 3-day workshop, an intr oduction to the history, identification, and preservation of photographic m aterials. Participants will acquire hands-on identification skills and lear n practical photograph preservation techniques. Using handheld 60x microsco pes and a large set of photographic and photomechanical samples, they will learn how a variety of processes were created, why they look the way they d o, and how they deteriorate. Knowledge about photographic processes is esse ntial to their preservation and leads to a greater appreciation of the aest hetics and history of photographic prints. Preservation topics include enc losures, handling guidelines, environmental monitoring, the effects of temp erature and relative humidity on collections, and the importance of cold st orage for certain photographic materials.
