Historic photographs tell important stories, and caring for them well can make all the difference. In this webinar recording, Rebecca Elder, cultural heritage preservation consultant and conservator, shares approachable, practical guidance on advanced photo preservation—including cased images, storage, mold concerns and emergency response.

Whether you’re managing a collection, preserving family photographs, or simply want to better understand these historic formats, this session offers helpful takeaways you can use right away. Rebecca explains how to identify daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes, how to store them safely, and what steps to consider when photos have been affected by mold or water damage.

## In this recording, you’ll learn:

- How to identify early photographic processes.
- Best practices for storing cased images and uncased tintypes.
- What to do when photographs are exposed to mold or moisture.
- When it makes sense to handle a situation yourself and when to call a conservator.
