In recent years, interest in old photographs has grown significantly among a broad public, from collectors, conservators, and archivists to amateurs seeking to preserve precious family albums. Although the medium of photography is barely 150 years old, its relatively brief history has witnessed the birth of a wide range of photographic processes, each of which poses unique conservation challenges. Photographs of the Past: Processes and Preservation provides a comprehensive introduction to the practice of photograph preservation, bringing together more information on photographic processes than any other single source. Introductory chapters cover issues of terminology; the rest of the book is divided into three parts: positives, negatives, and conservation. Each chapter focuses on a single process--daguerreotypes, albumen negatives, black-and-white prints, and so on--providing an overview of its history and materials and tracing the evolution of its technology. This book will serve as an irreplaceable reference work for conservators, curators, collectors, dealers, conservation students, and photographers, as well as those in the general public seeking information on preserving this ubiquitous form of cultural heritage.

This book is in the form of a box of flashcards. It contains 41 cards (40 plates and one colophon), and an eight-page accordion folded essay booklet.Inside this box, you will find an edited, reinterpreted, recontextualized, and humorous slice of photographic history. This work was produced in a moment of elongated reflection during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Four photographers, comprising the Rolls & Tubes Collective, examined the events unfolding around them and, through a collaborative effort made images in response.Every one of these images pulls from the history of photography, utilizing the classical canon along with pieces that were perhaps overlooked by historians. In response to the ongoing pandemic shortages, the Rolls & Tubes Collective members individually selected photographs to restage with toilet paper as the main foil in each composition. The new pieces reveal another history; one that originates within each Collective member's personal experience with the history of photography. As photographers with distinct backgrounds, the history of photography was a part of their formal training, but each member encountered a changing roster of photographers in the canon dependent on when and where they encountered it. Along with that, the act of looking at images is intrinsically embedded in their processes, exploding the history outward in all directions. It speaks to how photographic history (or really any history) does not have a defined form; the shape changes and shifts over time. Together, the photographs in flashcard form provide one malleable history. Enjoy this history. It is just one history out of many; perhaps it will inspire you to think about your own.The cards in this box are being delivered to you in orderof their appearance in the history of photography. Feel free toreorganize them in the way you would prefer it to havehappened. In these pictures we have indulged that impulse again and again.

This groundbreaking survey of significant work and ideas focuses on imagemakers who have pushed beyond the boundaries of photography as a window on our material world. Through interviews with more than 40 key artists, this book explores a diverse group of curious experimentalists who have propelled the medium’s evolution by visualizing their subject matter as it originates from their mind’s eye. Many favor the historical techniques commonly known as alternative photographic processes, but all these makers demonstrate that the real alternative is found in their mental approach and not in their use of physical methods. Within this context, photographer and photography historian Robert Hirsch outlines the varied approaches these artists have utilized to question conventional photographic practices, to convey internal realities, and to examine what constitutes photographic reality. Hirsch explores the half-century evolution of these concepts and methodologies and their popularity among contemporary imagemakers who are merging digital and analog processes to express what was thought to be photographically inexpressible.
