Interview with José Orraca (Part I), May 9, 2009

Hello, I am currently in the process of migrating this website, along with all the interviews, to a new platform.

I am aware that some interviews on Vimeo are not functioning properly at the moment, which is one of the reasons for this transition. I will share the details of the new website and its launch date here soon. Thank you for your patience and support. Best regards, Alejandra - March, 2025

If you’d like to receive updates about the launch of the new website, please provide your email here.

What is this blog about?

This blog contains information about conservation treatments performed on photographs nowadays.

It was originally created to document a research process, its origin, transformation and results.

The research title is "Current Status of Treatment Practices in Photograph Conservation", an interviews-based reference resource, that aims to:

- Understand, document and communicate the way in which treatments are approached and conducted, mainly in US, in different institution types and in private practice,

- Gather and make accessible the knowledge and experience of a group of key individuals in the field,

- Identify and explain the factors that have influenced in the history and development of treatment practices,

- Collect informed opinions relative to specific treatment topics.
