Masters in Photographic Documentation.Recovery, Treatment and Dissemination

"The training offer that is presented participates in this approach and arises as a response to the growing interest in photographic documentation and the absence of a public offer in Spanish universities that seeks specialized training on the subject such as that proposed in this Master. We want to underline that the approach of the Master in Photographic Documentation is in perfect harmony with the needs of the institutions and those responsible for this documentation. The training proposal is not limited to the traditional field of conservation (which undoubtedly has a singular importance), but it attends with equal dedication to training in the management of photographic documentation in the broadest sense: cataloging, conservation and location of the information corresponding to photographic backgrounds; attention to legal aspects related to reproduction rights and intellectual property; to their discovery, localization, recovery of supports and maintenance of ""historical"" technologies suitable for reproduction and copying on supports suitable for consultation and, as a basic context, the historical and aesthetic training that allows one to approach these materials as what they are : a fundamental part of the cultural heritage of a key importance in shaping the historical and visual memory of our recent past."
