Courses at Centre for Photographic Conservation

In 2016 The Centre for Photographic Conservation is offering a
reduced programme of courses and workshops on aspects of the
preservation and conservation of historic photographs.  The Centre's
career and professional development 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 and
transient medium.  Their approach cannot fail to stimulate
participants to a deeper understanding of, and professional growth
in this demanding discipline.  Ian and Angela have been sharing
their knowledge and skills with fellow heritage professionals since
1981.  Whilst the courses at The Centre are intensive the 'Moors'
still manage to maintain a friendly, enjoyable and informal
atmosphere.
