Caring for Your Family Photographs
Learn tips and tricks from the experts on how to care for and preserve your family photos.
In this recording of alive online forum hosted by HNOC Associate Curator Mallory Taylor, two photography experts offer practical advice to keep family photos safe in the south Louisiana humidity and seasonal threat of major storms.
Paul Sergeant, owner of Archival Heirloom, and Barbara Lemmen, Senior Photograph Conservator at the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts, each have deep experience in the conservation of photographs. They, along with Taylor, walk participants through best practices and answer questions from audience members.
