April 20 – Family History Series Part 1 – Kyla Ubbink Program Description: If a picture says a thousand words, then a family photograph tells a thousand tales; and ones we want to pass on and keep for the future. Knowing the photographic processes used to create an image helps identify the era the picture was taken in, and guides us in how to go about handling, using and preserving that image. From Daguerrotypes, and Tin types, to Colodial-Chloride and Gelatin, and almost every photographic technique and emulsion type in between; you will learn the basics of how these photographs were created, what time periods they were popular in, and how to identify and date them.
