Museums like the Kelsey use photography in many different ways — to document, to examine, to preserve, to teach. This public presentation will reveal some of the ways the Kelsey Museum is using photography to carry out its vision of creating knowledge, exploring the past, and educating for the future. Learn how conservators use light and photography to examine pigments on artifacts, how archival photography from early Kelsey excavations can inform researchers about the recent as well as the ancient past, and how new photographic technologies are being used to educate people about the Kelsey Museum and its collections.
