Image conservation and preservation resources on the Web


        Below you will find a brief list of image conservation and preservation resources on the Web
        grouped under broad topical headings. If, after reading through the list and sampling a few
        sites, you see we lack a particularly good source, please drop the VM/VMCAR Web weaver
        a line with your comments and suggestions.

        Thank you!


        Compendia

                National Park Service Conserv-o-grams

                An excellent resource aimed at the museum world but with much practical information for everyone. Each
                Conserv-o-gram may be downloaded in PDF format for your leisurely reading and application. Section
                14 deals specifically with photographic materials. This is a terrific resource.

                National Park Service Museum Handbook

                Another excellent resource aimed at the museum world but with much practical information for everyone.
                The Museum Handbook, divided into three parts - Museum Collections, Museum Records, and Museum
                Collections Use - may be downloaded separately in PDF format for your leisurely reading and application.
                Part 1: Museum Collections includes two sections in its appendix dealing specifically with photographic
                materials. This is another terrific resource from the folks at the National Park Service.
