Pop-Up Heritage! Preserving Digital Prints

Protecting Your Photos and Ink jet Documents from the 1980s to Now with Maria Day

In the 1980s many new technologies allowed us to print photos faster and cheaper! Archivists and conservators are finding that some of the printing methods used to print them are vulnerable to fade or sensitive to water damage. This Pop Up Heritage talk is for you if you are thinking about how to preserve photographs and digitally-printed documents created in the past 30 years.
