Preserving Family Photographs at the Mary Jacobs Library
Since the introduction of photographic portrait studios in 1840, photographs have been among the most treasured of family records but, while most are long-lasting when stored optimally in archives, in the home environment, they are all too often prone to fading and discoloration. In this slide lecture, held at the Mary Jacobs Library on Wednesday, February 22 at 7 pm, Gary Saretzky will provide guidance on how the life of family photographs can be extended so that they can be passed down to future generations.
Gary D. Saretzky, archivist and photographer, has worked as an archivist for more than forty years at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, Educational Testing Service, and the Monmouth County Archives, where he has been County Archivist since 1994. A member of the Photographic Materials Group of the American Institute for Conservation, Saretzky has taught the history of photography at Mercer County Community College since 1977. He has published more than 100 articles and reviews on the history of photography, photographic conservation, and other topics, including “Nineteenth-Century New Jersey Photographers,” in the journal, New Jersey History, Fall/Winter 2004.
