[X]









Learn to protect & preserve your photos!

Location: Okanagan Heritage Museum - Ursula Surtees Regional Conservation Lab
Time: 1st session - 2pm-4pm / 2nd session - 6pm-8pm
Date:  Thursday, July 23rd, 2015

A picture is worth a thousand words; our photos contains stories and memories of moments captured in time. Did you know that you can use some of the same methods we use at the museum to preserve your own photographs? In this hands on workshop you will learn basic conservation techniques to preserve and protect your precious family photos.
This two hour workshop will cover:
*       A brief history of photography and how to identify common types of photographs.
*       Care and handling
*       Storage and archival materials
*       Conservation of images: cleaning, tear repair, unrolling

Don't just learn, participate! Bring a photograph that is special to you that you would like preserved (or a photo that is torn/in poor condition) for the hands on activity.
There are 2 sessions available for this workshop:
1st session - 2pm-4pm | 2nd session - 6pm-8pm
