Ask anyone what’s the first thing they would reach for in the event of a fire and it’s invariably the same response: the family photos. Likewise in a collecting institution the photographs are generally one of the most valued and popular parts of the collection. But how do you preserve these photos?  How can you display these photos without damaging them?  Is digitisation the best way forward for all photographs?On Wednesday 15th September, the Pine Rivers Heritage Museum will be hosting an all-day photographic conservation workshop & clinic. The workshop, presented by a professional conservator from the National Archives of Australia, will include information on how to store, handle and display the various types of photographs found in both institutional and family collections. The workshop will cover colour and black and white prints, as well as negatives, slides and photograph albums.Advice will also be given on digitising historical photographs including issues to consider, with the focus on how best to digitally copy and preserve your photographs.The afternoon will be given over to a clinic where attendees will be encouraged to bring along their own historic photographs for discussion and advice.  Don’t miss this opportunity!
