Fellow appraiser Darlene Bialowski sent me some information to pass along to readers on an upcoming 4 day Care and Identification of Photographs workshop.
The workshop is hosted by the Metropolitan New York Library Council at METRO Training Center (4th floor) 57 E. 11th Street New York, NY 10003 and instructed by the photography conservators from Gawain Weaver Art Conservation.
The workshop is limited to only 14 participants, so it appears to be very hands on. Similar to our Appraiser Workshops, small group, hands on, and discussion based. These are the best type of programs instead of listening to a lecture and viewing a slideshow. Cost is $795.00 and will give 24 credit hours for requalification for ISA, AAA and ASA appraisers.

What are the defining characteristics of individual photographic processes?
How does environment affect the lives of photographic objects? In this 4-day intensive workshop, you will develop identification skills and knowledge about fine art and historic photographic processes, from the daguerreotype to digital prints. This workshop is intended for curators, collectors, archivists, collection managers, and anyone who studies or appreciates photographic prints.
Using handheld 60x microscopes and a large set of photographic and photomechanical samples, you will learn how a variety of processes were created, why they look the way they do, and how they deteriorate. Group ID sessions, using a digital microscope and screen projection, will allow participants to practice their identification skills in a guided setting.
Preservation topics include enclosures, handling guidelines, environmental monitoring, the effects of temperature and relative humidity on collections, and the importance of cold storage for certain photographic materials.
Over 30 different processes are studied in great detail, from how daguerreotypes are made and how they are best preserved, to how long-lasting inkjet prints are created, and how to preserve and store color photographic materials and cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate-based photographic film.
Registration Includes:
• 4-day workshop
• 240-page color notebook
• 60x LED handheld microscope
