Participants will receive an exclusive tour of the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to visit the museum's archival storage area, which is carefully and precisely controlled with respect to temperature, humidity, and external contamination. Highlights of the program are the lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions designed to teach participants how to identify the various 109th- and 20th-century photo processes. Using specially selected examples and a structured technique based on visual and microscopic examination, participants will learn to distinguish an albumen print from a platinotype, a Kodachrome from an Autochrome. During the seminar week, suppliers will be exhibiting state-of-the-art preservation and storage materials. Curators, archivists, librarians, conservators, and others responsible for photographic collections owned by libraries, galleries, historical societies, and private and governmental archives will benefit from this program. Participants do not need extensive experience or knowledge. Program fee: $950. For more information or to register: RIT/T&E Seminar Registration, Frank E.
