Workshop: Archival Photography

Archives are not ideal places to take photographs, with low light, sensitivity to noise and flashlight, and often no means of supporting a camera or your subject effectively. This course will guide you through the pitfalls and problems, and provide advice on taking sharp, clear photographs of your primary sources, without annoying your archivist.

An understanding of the principles of photography (for example through the Photography Basics Workshop) is useful but not essential.

Due to high demand, these workshops are currently limited to staff and students from University of Exeter and Southwest DTP institutions. If you do not fall into those categories but are interested in attending, please get in touch with the DH team and we can discuss training possibilities.

Places are very limited for this event, so if you find you are unable to attend, please let us know at digitalhumanities@exeter.ac.uk.

Location: This event will be held in the Digital Humanities Lab only and will not be available online.
