Photographic Processes
Photographs can take many different forms, and the process used to create them can affect how they should be handled and stored. This webinar looks at photographic processes used over nearly two centuries, from early nineteenth-century formats through more modern materials.
We’ll also discuss how to identify different photographic processes in your collection, what physical characteristics to look for, and the storage materials and enclosures best suited to preserving them.
Monday, November 23rd @ 6 pm CT via Zoom.
