The Caring for Photographs was intended to strengthen general photograph preventive conservation knowledge and preservation capacity.

This session will provide a basic knowledge of best practices in photograph preservation and building a case statement for effective fund raising. Advocacy for collections will be stressed as a first step in raising awareness of the richness and importance of photographic heritage.
