WHAT PHOTOGRAPHIC STORIES ARE WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED?

What stories are hiding within historical archives—or inside your old family photographs, film negatives, and slides?

Join photographer Holly Hunt for an engaging introduction to archival photography research and preservation. Learn how to navigate the archival research process, uncover information about historical photographs, and discover how these images can tell us more about the people, places, and moments captured in the past.

During this presentation, you’ll learn how to research photographs and use archival resources to uncover the stories behind them. You’ll also discover how to turn film negatives and slides into digital files by using a smartphone application, making it easier to preserve, share, and enjoy these images for years to come.

You'll learn about:

• How to begin researching historical photographs in an archive

• The process of uncovering information about the people, places, and events captured in old photographs

• How to scan and digitize old film negatives and slides using your smartphone

Bring a piece of the past—and discover the story it has to tell.

⭐Bring your smartphone and an old slide or film negative with you!⭐
