Ms. Turchan analyzed differing historic forms of photography from the daguerreotype and wet
plate processes up to present forms.
She commented on how time, heat, excessive light, improper storage, etc...
can damage or deteriorate photos and documents.
Recommendations were given on how to repair damaged or fading photos and use of proper archival
materials was emphasized for the storage of collections.
Two of the recommendations made were 1)When writing on photographs,
one should use a soft lead pencil and not a pen; and, 2) Care should be given to hanging
framed photos on inside walls in a room and not in direct sunlight.
After the program, the 160 members and guests enjoyed the delicious pastry table set up by Mary Ellen Zuro, assisted by Joan Miller and Mary Sherry.
