"The care of photographs is a specialist field that has been in need of such a how-to manual for many years. As well as its stated aim, this is a book that should be brought to the attention of many others working in the cultural heritage fields."
Archives, Journal of the British Records Association (Oct. 2007)
"Our increasingly visual society has come to value [photographs] for the information they contain. For that reason alone, this book is a necessary addition to the bookshelf of anyone who cares for historical photograph collections, large or small, in libraries, museums, schools, city halls, historical societies, clubs, and other cultural heritage institutions."
—American Archivist (Fall/Winter 2007)
"This book is not just for people working in the preservation of images. There are chapters of interest in it for everyone connected with photography, whether they are working in archives, libraries or historical societies; indeed anyone who works with images both old and new."
