A Review of Lining Methods for Paper-based Photographic Prints from the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

Abstract

A photograph may be lined when its physical condition is so poor that an additional support is necessary to ensure its survival. Photographic prints may comprise a number of layers, often composed of dissimilar materials that react differently to moisture. As most traditional lining methods involve the use of water, lining can thus cause stresses within and between the various layers. These stresses are thought to exhibit as increased cracking of binder layers and increased curling of the photograph itself. This paper reviews the literature to date regarding the lining of photographs and examines possible future treatment pathways. From the literature, it would appear that the question of how best to line traditional photographic formats, such as albumen, collodion and silver gelatin prints, has not yet been answered. Standard water-based lining adhesives can cause damage to various types of traditional photographs. Heat and solvent-activated adhesives can also cause damage; however, they may allow better control over the physical changes that occur within some types of photographs during treatment. Further investigation of non-traditional adhesives for paper (e.g. waxes and synthetic polymers) is recommended.     

霉变照相底片档案背涂层霉斑去除

照相底片背涂层极易滋生霉菌,严重影响底片记载影像的完整性与清晰度.运用次氯酸钠溶液去除霉变底片背涂层霉斑,采用激光共聚焦显微镜和分光光度计对霉变背涂层去除前后的底片表面形貌、粗糙度和反射率进行表征分析表明,该方法可有效去除底片背涂层因霉菌繁殖形成的粗糙界面,消除霉变底片粗糙界面对光的反射导致洗印照片产生的白斑,且不会对底片的机械强度和耐久性产生影响.该方法可有效恢复底片记载影像信息的清晰度与完整性,同时消除霉菌对底片的长期危害.     

Curating and Controlling Zuni Photographic Images

This article explores the history of photography in Zuni and provides a context for the forthcoming request from Zuni religious leaders that they be allowed to exercise some control over sensitive images held by museums. This request is part of the debate over whether Native Americans should exercise some degree of control over historic photographs of their religious ceremonies. Some Zuni community members always considered photography of religious ceremonies to be inappropriate. How it happened sheds light on how Zunis incorporated the then-new technology into their traditional beliefs and social organization. Similarly, existing museum policy toward sensitive images is a result of the way photography has been incorporated into European and American legal and ethical thinking. In addition to lending weight to the contention that forthcoming requests from Native Americans are based on long-held beliefs rather than simply contemporary political expediency, history also suggests the parameters for an equitable solution to this issue.     

关于高校照片档案建设的思考

随着高校档案馆的建立,高校档案工作迎来了历史性的发展机遇,得到长足发展,但是不少高校的照片档案却仍然没有走出被忽视、甚至被遗忘的困境。作为高校档案工作弱项的高校照片档案建设亟待加强,以保证高校档案工作均衡发展,更好地服务于高校的教学、科研、管理等工作。一、高校照片档案的价值作用功能决定价值,高校照片档案的价值作用由它所具有的照片档案的功能所决定。1、照片档案具有档案最基本的功能———历史记忆与再现功能。照片档案是指社会生活中形成的具有查考利用价值并经过一定整理程序,保存起来的底片、照片和文字说明。照片档…     

A Case Study of the Photographic Principle

Using The Philadelphia Inquirer as a case study, this article examines the visual behaviors of news professionals as they pertain to the importance and function of the social construction of news photos. The author posits the concept of the photographic principle to explain the process by which news professionals maintain photographic integrity—especially given the latest technology and its potential for misuse in constructing news photos. The photographic principle is defined as the guiding standard photo editors use to preserve the inherent value of news photographs. As the article shows, photo editors at the Inquirer provided the model on which the author based the concept of the photographic principle—a positive example of news workers who strive to protect the veracity of news photos.     

广告摄影用光分析

广告摄影画面别具一格、匠心独运的表现与刻画,很大程度上取决于用光。明晰人工照明光源的基本要素,及其各要素之间相互联系,相互影响的关系,做到合理、正确的调度与控制照明光源,以达最终控制与明确把握形象、质感、色彩、画面气氛与空间关系。     

照片档案数字化的要点

照片档案数字化与纸质档案数字化在工作原理、实施方法和操作过程基本一致,但也有一些不同的方面,以下就照片档案数字化的一些特殊要求作简要说明。     

家庭数码照片档案管理的思考与实践

与其他电子文件形成过程需经历一个"时间段"不同的是,数码照片的形成具有"时间点"特性,这使得它拥有"相片拍照日期"这一核心元数据.笔者认为,家庭数码照片档案管理应依赖该核心元数据实现对数码照片档案真实性的"维持".而"维持"不是技术问题,只是意识问题.     

"陌生化"瞬间与摄影构图

“陌生化“是将熟悉的事物或景象,用人们不太熟悉的面孔呈现在观者面前,从而引起注意和思考,提高影像的传播效果;在当前摄影创作中这一技巧正被广泛采用,成为获胜的一大法宝.     

The Effect of Digital Indexing Systems on the Accessibilityof Photographic Collections

This Digital Image Archive (DIA) project involves the production of adigital archive of a collection of Nineteenth Century photographicimages and equipment. The DIA was designed to operate as a public accesscatalogue, to aid curators with information retrieval and to reduce theneed to handle some original material. Much of the William Henry FoxTalbot collection at the Royal Photographic Society can no longer beexhibited due to damage caused by handling and light. Access to thecollection is restricted because of preservation concerns over a growingpercentage of the collection and insufficient resources forreproductions and supervision. These problems led to investigations intothe possible advantages that digital technology might offer.Cross-referencing, administrative cataloguing and recording ofpreservation techniques are ideally suited to digital technology. Theshort life span of digital storage media and concerns over systemcompatibility requires the development of a complex long-term digitalstrategy that must be standardized if the archival material is tosurvive. Construction of the DIA involved investigations into softwareand hardware configurations concentrating on the ability to customizefactors such as indexing from recognized standards and practices. Thispaper concentrates on the results of a survey into standards withindigital indexing systems, which indicates that although there is growingawareness of standardization within digital cataloguing and multimedia,many organizations continue to devise independent systems.

照片档案创新编研思路探析

照片档案编研是档案编研的重要组成部分.在照片档案馆藏数字化、管理智能化、利用故事化、建设工程化的基础上,档案部门可通过以利用为导向的照片档案内容解析与存储、基于关联关系的照片档案资源发现与聚合、面向叙事的照片档案编研线索获取与构建、面向展示的照片档案编研成果组织与呈现思路,推动照片档案深入"研"与特色"编",进而实现档案编研工作创新破局.     

照片档案的作用与利用

照片本身鲜活的画面给人以身临其境的感觉，无论是在报纸、还是在杂志，一张高质量的照片可以起到画龙点睛的作用，会使整个版面、网页虎虎有生气。给你一张报纸你可能先看照片，从而被照片牵扯着读它的说明以及照片周围的章。它能使读用最短的时间了解到最多的信息，读图时代就这样悄声来到我们的身边。
