Finishes June 5, 2008 - 9 - 5
Category Specialized Course
Description A picture is worth a thousand words, and photographs are an excellent example of this, but how do you keep them from deteriorating over time? How do you keep them from spontaneously combusting?

Care and Handling of Photographic Materials will discuss photographic process identification, and the structure, composition, and format of a broad range of photographic materials. Agents of deterioration and mechanisms of deterioration will be covered, as well as proper storage and handling techniques for photograph conditions. Ways to minimize potential damage and information loss in an emergency or disaster are also included.
