New Albumen Photography Website



A new web site "Albumen Photographs: History, Science and Preservation"
is now online at <http://albumen.stanford.edu>. The site features 19th
century primary source materials, contemporary research, a gallery, and
video of albumen print manufacture. In addition, there is an interactive
treatment forum for conservators to discuss preservation issues
pertaining to albumen photographs.  The site will be of interest to
students, historians, scientists, curators, collection managers, and
conservators.

The site was created through a partnership of art conservators backed by
institutional support. The site is the work of private conservators
Timothy Vitale and Paul Messier teamed with Walter Henry, Acting Head of
Media Preservation, Stanford University Libraries and John Burke, Chief
Conservator, Oakland Museum of California.  The project was funded
through a grant received from the National Center for Preservation
Technology and Training (NCPTT). The site is hosted and maintained by
the Stanford University Libraries.  The Monterey Museum of Art sponsored
the project under the direction of Richard Gadd who also contributed an
online exhibition.

A full press release, with a more in-depth description of the site, is
available from
