Disaster Planning and Recovery of Wet Materials (Day 1)
Hosted
by:
Moving Image Related Materials and Documentation Interest
Group
Chair:
Sara J. Holmes - Texas Tech University
Speakers:
Barbara Moore - Conservator in Private Practice
Gary Albright - Conservator in Private Practice
Mick Newnham - National Film and Sound Archive
Peter Brothers - Specs Bros.
This workshop
will introduce attendees to the basic concepts of disaster
planning and recovery for materials such as paper, photographs,
textiles, wooden objects, metal objects, as well as film and
video. Following lecture-style presentations, participants
will have the opportunity to work in teams in a hands-on recovery
of wet materials. The experience will allow experimentation
and observation of the ways different media are damaged in
disaster scenarios and to gain an understanding of how to
organize and react to an actual disaster. Content and activities
will be suitable for beginners as well as more experienced
practitioners seeking further training or a refresher course.

The subject
event is intended to be a comprehensive, intermediate level
workshop that describes the technologies of motion imaging
films and processes, with particular reference to the preservation
and restoration of motion images. Workshop presentations will
include the following topics: Light & Color, Image Formation,
Sensitometry, How Film Works, Film Types, Film Manufacturing,
and Asset Management. We will also cover the relationship
between film and digital technologies, and plan to include
a restoration case study that utilized a combination of film
and digital techniques to achieve the desired final result.
The presenters will be subject experts from the Eastman Kodak
Company, and PRO-TEK Media Preservation Services, and a comprehensive
set of notes will be provided. A similar workshop was presented
at last year's conference in Anchorage, AK. Although the 2007
workshop is primarily intended for conference participants
unable to attend in 2006, presentations have been updated
and new materials added.

Peter Herzog - Herzog/Wheeler & Associates
A cinema
collection may contain a wide variety of objects: films, prints,
paper ephemera, cameras and projectors, magnetic tapes, DVDs,
and other related materials. The best strategy for preserving
such diverse collections is to provide proper storage conditions;
however, planning, implementing, and maintaining the proper
conditions is a complex task. In this workshop, people involved
in producing, using, or caring for moving-image collection
materials will learn about preservation tools and methodologies
that can facilitate this task. Attendees will be given basic
information on collection decay and how to control it and
will be introduced to tools for diagnosing the condition and
storage requirements of collection materials and for assessing
the characteristics of the storage environment. The workshop
will also explore ways to optimize HVAC equipment and save
energy. Room, cool, cold, and frozen storage conditions will
be discussed. Attendees will come away knowing new ways to
make informed decisions regard
