- Authors
Swan, Alice
- Abstract
The article discusses treatment methods for the conservation of photographs. It highlights the origins, safety, and applicability of massive treatment for photographic collections. While the value of original photographs has increased, it states that the demand for curators and collectors to adopt comprehensive conservation programs has also grown. Meanwhile, it claims that daguerreotypes constitute the oldest popular photographic process invented in 1839. It consists of a negative image of amalgam particles that are deposited on a thin silver surface bonded to a copper support layer.
