Memory Keepers: A guide to photo conservation

We’ve all been there, finding that old family photo tucked away in a drawer, only to discover it’s starting to fade, crack, or yellow. Those irreplaceable moments with loved ones, and memories captured are slowly disappearing.

In this talk, Chloe Lucas, a professional conservator will inform us of some preventive conservation actions that can be easily taken and implemented in a personal and private context to improve the long-term preservation of private photographic collections.
