Summary In seventy-two essential texts from the nineteenth century to the present day, this anthology collects key writings that have influenced both the philosophical and the practical aspects of conserving photographs. Many of the topics---safe environmental parameters, silver image permanence, and proper treatment methods---have been debated since the introduction of photography. By promoting an understanding of these issues, this volume advances the education of rising conservation professionals, inspires new scholarship, and contributes to the field's ongoing evolution --Book Jacket
