Welcome to The Archival Advisor Newsletter!
The goal of the Image Permanence Institute's new Archival Advisor Newsletter is to create a voice for IPI in the area of consumer photo preservation. The primary audience is described above as the Family Photo Collector, the Genealogist, and the Scrapbook Maker; however, we believe that the newsletter will eventually find a larger audience to include photo-hobbyists, photograph collectors, professional photographers, photo-artists, retail store owners, educators, and many more.
The resources needed to produce this publication are available to IPI only by the support of our corporate sponsors. There are no grant funds or RIT subsidization for this publication. At the bottom of the issue you'll find the logos of all those companies and institutions which have provided financial support to IPI over the last year. Their dedication is important, and we thank them.
You are receiving this newsletter because of your contact with IPI in the past either at our office, or at a tradeshow or other event. If you do not wish to continue receiving this monthly newsletter, please use the unsubscribe feature at the bottom of the page. Otherwise...
Read on and enjoy!
Sincerely,
Andrea and Daniel |
IS&T Awards: The HP Image Permanence Award Goes to James M. Reilly
In September of 2006 Hewlett Packard announced the establishment of the HP Image Permanence Award to distinguish outstanding contributors to the field of image preservation of photographic and artistic images created by means of modern technology.
This award from the Society for Imaging Science & Technology recognizes three potential areas of contribution:
- Advances in colorant and print media material that significantly increase permanence
- Advances in predictive science that increase the validity of permanence predictions, or provide insight into optimal storage and usage conditions
- Educational efforts that raise awareness of the effect of storage and usage conditions on permanence.
In its foundational year this award, sponsored by Hewlett Packard and given with participation of The International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works, went to James M. Reilly, founder and director of the Image Permanence Institute "for his contribution and devotion to the field of image preservation and permanence, particularly the establishment of the nation's premier image permanence institute, as well as for the advancement, understanding and education of image preservation and permanence he has championed throughout the world".
James Reilly has made innumerable contributions to the field of image preservation not only through the research and development of practical tools and preservation technology for libraries, archives, and museum collections worldwide, but also as a consultant, teacher and seminar speaker in an unconditional effort to communicate and share his learning.
It is our honor to be part of his team and help carry out the mission of the Image Permanence Institute.

Tip of the Month
Always let your digital prints dry thoroughly before handling, stacking, or putting into an album. Most prints today dry relatively fast, but it's safer to give your prints at least 24 hours out in the open to make sure all the ink solvents have completely evaporated.
Term of the Month
Blocking - The adhesion of a smooth surface, such as glass or plastic film, to the surface of a photograph. It is the result of the softening of gelatin under conditions of high humidity. In severe cases the two surfaces cannot be separated. Visit the Archival Advisor Glossary
