Photo Preservation Workshop
with Collections Curator, Laura Staneff, MA
Saturday, May 9th, 11 am at the WHM
Bring a photo to our workshop to learn what you can do to preserve your photos too!
Do you have a collection of old family photos that are fading fast? What can you do to protect them? Should you tape photos into your scrapbooks? Our freelance collections curator, Laura Downey Staneff, will answer your questions. In this workshop Laura will discuss different types of photographic processes, their mounts, and how they deteriorate as they age. She’ll also discuss how photographs should be displayed and stored. Did you know that displaying a high quality facsimile reproduction of your favorite family photo is a great way to preserve the original? Workshop participants are invited to bring individual photographs and plenty of questions for discussion about how to preserve your precious photos.
