The program sponosored by the George Eastman House, the Image Permanence Institute, and the Rochester Institute of Technology covers photographic preservation technology, archival practices, and digital imaging.

Attending the program would provide her with the information she needs to plan and administer short and long-term preservation plans for the Society's photograph collection.
