The programme will provide an introduction of photographic formats common to UK archive collections, discuss the degradation and agents of change which can affect photographic materials, and provide guidance on, and case studies of, the handling, storage, packaging, and preservation of photographic materials.

Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions via email at preservationandconservation@archives.org.uk, or during the talks themselves.

Although this online event is being organised by the Section for Preservation and Conservation, we welcome participants from all the ARA’s nations, regions, and sections.
