FROM NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE
April 15-17, 2002 - Cleveland, OH

Registration Deadline is April 1, 2002.

This photograph workshop series is sponsored by the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) and the Intermuseum Conservation Association (ICA).

Photographs are magical objects.  William Henry Fox Talbot, who invented the negative-positive process, wrote of "the inimitable beauty of the pictures of nature's painting which the glass lens of the camera throws upon the paper in its focus-fairy pictures, creatures of a moment, and destined as rapidly to fade away."  Photographs are often the most used materials held in our institutions.  This workshop series is designed to help cultural institutions develop the strategies needed to establish safe storage environments and handling procedures, and to select appropriate reformatting options.

The workshops are intended for staff who are involved in collections care activities or have responsibility for photograph collections, such as librarians, archivists, curators, collections managers, stewards of historic house museums, and records managers.

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and The Pew Charitable Trusts provided subsidy for these workshops.


WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

"Planning Your Digital Imaging Project"
Wednesday, April 17, 2002
This workshop is designed to explore the decisions involved in planning and managing a project to digitally reformat a photographic collection.  The conversion of visual materials to an electronic form encompasses a host of management decisions with significant implication for access and cost.  The factors to consider include provision of intellectual access to materials, copyright issues, current and potential use by researchers, format and nature of the digital product, relationship of the project materials to the rest of the collection, and projected costs.  The workshop will serve as an overview for staff determining if digitization will facilitate and enhance access to their photographic collections.

Speakers:
Steve Puglia, Imaging Consultant, Photo Conservation and Imaging, Silver Spring, MD
Albert Albano, Director, Intermuseum Conservation Association (ICA) and Jon Wilhelm, Multimedia Artist and Web Consultant


NOTE:
Registration capacity has been reached in the other two workshops in this series: "Identification and Care of Photographic Prints" on April 15 and "Identification and Care of Photographic Negatives" on April 16.
