Kent Workshops Description[edit | edit source]
The Kent Workshops were a series of gatherings organized by José Orraca at his private conservation studio in Kent, NY.
These were events where a small group of photograph conservators (around 15, selected by application or invitation) would present their experiences on a specific topic and the group would experiment with different treatment techniques.
Many of these resulted in a binder with bibliography or texts created by participants for the purpose of the workshop. They were informal in nature but fostered important collaborations and areas of research.
