The Centre has for over 30 years responded to the needs of fellow
professionals offering a programme of courses and workshops on
aspects of the preservation and conservation of historic
photographs. We are happy to announce that we will offer an extended
programme of courses in 2011 including a new course. The Centre's
courses offer conservators and other heritage professionals
specialist training in this challenging field; enabling them to hone
their practical skills and upgrade their knowledge of current
developments and techniques. Course tutors are Ian Moor and Angela
Moor who communicate their knowledge, expertise and passion in such
a way as to bring alive the history and diversity of photography
whilst still fully addressing the 21st Century problems of
preserving and conserving this evocative medium. Their approach can
not fail to stimulate participants to a deeper understanding of, and
professional growth in, this demanding discipline.

Whilst the courses at The Centre are intensive the 'Moors' still
manage to maintain a friendly, enjoyable and informal atmosphere.

We are also happy to relate that The Centre's Courses are no longer
subject to V.A.T (Value Added Tax)
