The ASA is a not-for-profit association supporting archives and archivists in Alberta in the collection and preservation of records for the benefit of future generations. These records are essential as they capture the living legacy of the people and stories that make Alberta home. Together with members of the archival community, we are committed to protecting Alberta’s historical record.
This workshop discusses how to identify photographic processes as well as the structure, composition and format of a broad range of photographic materials. Agents of deterioration and mechanisms of deterioration are covered, as are proper storage and handling techniques for photograph collections. Ways to minimize potential damage and information loss in an emergency or disaster are also included.
ASA acknowledges that our office is located in Treaty 6 territory, the traditional land of the Dene, Métis, Salteaux, Nakoda Sioux, Cree and Blackfoot peoples. As we are a provincial organization, our work is spread throughout all of Alberta, and as such, we recognize Treaty 7 & 8 and all Indigenous, Métis and Inuit people and their lands that our work touches.
