Adam Lovell, Society Curator of Collections Preserving Your Family Photos

This presentation will show you how to identify, preserve, store, and present your family photographs, albums, and paper documents.  Photographs are a cherished part of any family collection; ensuring their long-term care and stability should be a priority. Learn to care for these treasures and share them with family and friends. Our Curator of Collections, Adam Lovell, has extensive experience in historic object preservation and conservation.  In addition to managing the extensive photograph and archive collection at the Society, Lovell has managed historic collections in five states and overseas in New Zealand. He received professional training at the conservation lab of the Oakland Museum of California, the National Archives and Records Administration and John F. Kennedy University's Museum Studies Program. Lovell currently supervises all archives and collections activities for the Society, including the massive photo digitization project.
