conserving photographs

Lately I've been learning about the conservation of photographs, which is very interesting! Christopher Harvey, from the College of Arms has been to our studio to guide our learning. This, along with the kind donation of some old post cards from a shop owner in Dulwich has really fueled my intrigue. I bought this amazing book by Bertrand Lavédrine for some reading, called Photographs of the Past: Process and Preservation. I highly recommend it!
