National Gallery of Art Photograph Conservation Program

The National Gallery of Art, Washington, announces the expansion of
its photograph conservation program, which has been made possible by
a generous grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The six-year
grant provides funding for additional photograph conservators, as
well as a scientist devoted to the study of photographic materials.
Constance McCabe has been appointed head of the newly established
department of photograph conservation, and Sarah S. Wagner joined
the department as senior photograph conservator in August 2011.
Analytical chemist Matthew Clarke joined the Gallery's scientific
research department in December, where he works with scientists,
conservators, and curators to study the complex photographs in the
Gallery's collections. Conservation scientist Christopher Maines
will assist in the new research endeavors as the science advisor.
