\"\"<\/p>\n

A salted paper print, or simply salt print, is a photographic printing process whereby paper is coated with salt solution and then a silver nitrate solution to capture images. It was a popular photographic printing technique between 1839 and approximately 1860.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n

WPC has undertaken a university-wide project, the Salt Print Initiative<\/a>, to preserve and enhance access to salt prints across campus, including inventorying the salt prints held by individual repositories, including the Fine Arts Library.<\/p>\n

This symposium will present a multi-disciplinary, two-day program that focuses on the preservation, characterization, use, and interpretation of the salt print process, now over 175 years old. Read more<\/a> about the symposium and how to register<\/a>.<\/p>\n
