In recent years, interest in old photographs has grown
significantly among a broad public, from collectors, conservators,
and archivists to amateurs seeking to preserve precious family
albums. Although the medium of photography is barely 150 years old,
its relatively brief history has witnessed the birth of a wide
range of photographic processes, each of which poses unique
conservation challenges.
Photographs of the Past: Processes and Preservation provides a
comprehensive introduction to the practice of photograph
preservation, bringing together more information on photographic
processes than any other single source. Introductory chapters cover
issues of terminology; the rest of the book is divided into three
parts: positives, negatives, and conservation. Each chapter focuses
on a single process--daguerreotypes, albumen negatives,
black-and-white prints, and so on--providing an overview of its
history and materials and tracing the evolution of its technology.
This book will serve as an irreplaceable reference work for
conservators, curators, collectors, dealers, conservation students,
and photographers, as well as those in the general public seeking
information on preserving this ubiquitous form of cultural
heritage.
