Taller de Conservación y Preservación de Fotografía
Despite challenges associated with Hurricane Helene, the second session of the Taller de Conservación y Preservación de Fotografía that took place from September 23-27 was a success. Building upon the principles shared in the first session in April, this workshop focused on practical conservation techniques and materials. Participants gained both technical knowledge and experience in adapting to a variety of treatment approaches and materials. The workshop also introduced them to new conservation technologies, providing experience and understanding with materials that, while not widely available in the region, represent the latest innovations in the field.
There are approximately 4500 photographs in the Hemingway collection at Finca Vigía, many in need of conservation.
The Finca Vigía Foundation is grateful to the US State Department, the US Embassy in Havana, and the Cuban Consejo Nacional de Patrimonio Cultural for supporting this important work.
