They learn to recognise a wide range of these techniques, from historic photographic processes through printing techniques to contemporary digital developments. With regard to the basic knowledge, participants are expected to know the basic techniques of taking photographs and printing negatives. The course offers its participants: 1. basic knowledge of conservation materials, handling and preservation of prints; 2. knowledge of how to identify historic and contemporary photographic and photomechanical processes in theory and in practice, with special attention to: - photographic materials (negatives, positives, film types, etc.) 32
- silver processes - non-silver processes (carbon prints, gum processes) - photomechanical processes - digital prints. The study of the qualities, characteristics and expected future possibilities of recent digital image production follows the block dealing with historic analogue procedures. In this second block attention is devoted to all sorts of printing from digital image files (inkjet, pigment, iris, lambda, etc.), but also to aspects of interactive digital production and their environments (cd-rom, websites). Particularly in the field of the digital productions this has led to radically different debates about the ‘why and how’ of the material to be conserved. In addition, insight into the necessary hardware and software is also required, so that material preserved digitally can in the future also be shown in the form in which it was intended to appear. The participation costs for students (including a copy of the reader) are: € 350,- (considerably less expensive than for non-students). Participants can register during the period November-December (2007). The course will be held from March through June (2009). For an informational brochure and registration, contact the photography curator of the Print Room, Maartje van den Heuvel MA, e-mail: m.e.n.van.den.heuvel@library.leidenuniv.nl or assistant curator Joke Pronk, e-mail: j.pronk@ library.leidenuniv.nl. Friends of the Print Room of Leiden University The Leiden Print Room houses an extensive and multifaceted collection of photographs, prints and drawings which are intensively used in the education and research in the department. Students study the material from the collection and regularly assist in the preparation of exhibitions. The Friends of the Print Room sets for itself the goal of furthering the interests of the Leiden Print Room in the widest sense and, among other things, making it possible to expand the collection with new acquisitions. Students at Leiden can support the work of the Friends by becoming a donor.
