Meeting Schedule Wednesday, January 17, 2018 - TBD

Wednesday, February 14, 2018 - "From 8-Bit to 4K: A Leading Computational Imaging Algorithm for Digital Printing Technology," by Chunghui Kuo, Eastman Kodak Co.

Wednesday, March 21, 2018 - TBD

Abstract:

For over thirty years, the Image Permanence Institute (IPI) has conducted research on the stability of photographic materials, archival storage enclosures, and storage environmental conditions to inform new strategies and best practices for preserving cultural heritage collections in libraries, archives, and museums. Research results are actively disseminated through publications, educational programs, and online tools and resources. This talk will provide a brief introduction to the history of research at IPI, highlighting significant contributions IPI has made to the preservation community, and introduce current and upcoming research and education initiatives. Current projects include the effects of water damage on digital prints, exploring the use of digital image correlation to understand library and archive materials responses to changes in relative humidity, and photographic print process identification workshops.

Venue ideas requested – we are soliciting input regarding other possible venues for our meetings.

Biography:

Jennifer Jae Gutierrez became Executive Director of the Image Permanence Institute (IPI) at RIT in April 2017. Prior to her appointment at IPI, Jae was the Arthur J. Bell Senior Photograph Conservator at the Center for Creative Photography (CCP), University of Arizona, Tucson where she established the institution’s conservation department. During her tenure at CCP, research in the archives informed essays on Robert Heinecken’s work processes and materials associated with W. Eugene Smith’s ‘Big Book’ project. Jae has affiliated faculty status in the Art Conservation Department at the University of Delaware (UD) where she held a faculty appointment for eight years prior to working at the CCP. At UD, she taught undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in preventive conservation, conservation ethics, and the conservation of photographic materials. She also served as Associate Director of the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation, one of only four Master’s-level, conservation-training programs in the United States.
