Gary Albright has taught photo conservation as a guest lecturer in our department since 2003. He has been a photograph conservator for over 35 years and graduated from The Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation. From 1999-2003, he was conservator at the George Eastman House, Rochester, NY, one of the premier collections of photography in the world. Prior to that, he was senior paper and photograph conservator at the Northeast Document Conservation Center, Andover, MA. Gary's lectures and workshops focus on the identification and preservation of photographic prints, negatives, cased objects and color images; emergency salvage of wet photographs; surface cleaning, mending, and flattening of paper and photographic materials; and conservation treatment possibilities. His teaching emphasizes the practical application of conservation principles to institutions or collections with limited budgets.
