ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
The correct storage and preservation of your family photographs is incredibly important if you want your grandchildren's grandchildren to be able to inherit and benefit from them.In this presentation, Brett describes how to protect your old photographs. Further, he'll teach you how to create digital copies that can be viewed over and over without affecting the quality of the original. Not all scans are created equal, though, and it's important to do the job properly to maximize the information that you and others will be able to extract and interpret.A decent scan, well documented with ancillary information about the photograph's location, history, provenance, etc., is worth every extra minute spent on it.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

A resident of New Zealand, Brett is our first speaker from Down Under. A geologist by training, he currently works in the museum industry as a collections assistant, artifact photographer, researcher and photographic historian. As he explained, "My passion is old photographs, the photographers who took them, the equipment and technologies they used, the people and scenes in the photos, and the stories behind them."

HANDOUT
A handout will be available shortly before the presentation. A link will be included in a reminder that will be sent the day before the session.
