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.

Famous quotes containing the words education and/or training:
“If you complain of neglect of education in sons, what shall I say with regard to daughters, who every day experience the want of it? With regard to the education of my own children, I find myself soon out of my depth, destitute and deficient in every part of education. I most sincerely wish ... that our new Constitution may be distinguished for encouraging learning and virtue. If we mean to have heroes, statesmen, and philosophers, we should have learned women.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
“An educational method that shall have liberty as its basis must intervene to help the child to a conquest of liberty. That is to say, his training must be such as shall help him to diminish as much as possible the social bonds which limit his activity.”
—Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
