Education and Training
Photograph conservators can be found in museums, archives, and libraries, as well as in private practice. Conservators often have earned their Master’s degrees in art conservation, though many have also been trained through apprenticeship. They often have backgrounds in art history, chemistry, or photography. Graduate schools in art conservation in the United States have been established at New York University, Buffalo State College, University of Delaware, and The University of Texas at Austin. Postgraduate training is generally done by fellowships such as those currently offered, by the generosity of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, in the Advanced Residency Program in Photograph Conservation at the George Eastman House.

“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“In my state, on the basis of the separate but equal doctrine, we have made enormous strides over the years in the education of both races. Personally, I think it would have been sounder judgment to allow that progress to continue through the process of natural evolution. However, there is no point crying about spilt milk.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
