Event Calendar

Learn how to identify, preserve, and interpret the old photographs in your personal collection. We will rethink the role photography has had in our lives and develop a plan so you can confidently manage your collection, even if it includes thousands of images. This is a quick-paced, introductory workshop that incorporates authentic examples of 19th and 20th century images.

Attendees will:

• Learn the basics of the history of photography and photographic processes.
• Be challenged to think about photographic images in new ways and explore the many things that can be learned from a single image.
• Learn how to best preserve, store, share, and display photographs to keep them safe, organized, and accessible for future generations.

A specialized resource guide will be made available to all attendees.
