Workshop Type: Classroom Training

Presenter: Amanda Murray

Photographs are ubiquitous in collections, and managing and caring for these materials present unique challenges. This workshop will cover the basics of care and management for photographic collections. We will discuss how photographic collections are defined and described, spend time looking at different types of photographic materials, and consider how materials impact preservation, storage, and housing decisions. Emphasis will be given to scalable solutions for preservation. A hands-on housing activity will provide participants with experience creating enclosures.
