Sandy particulates and grime adhered to the emulsion of many of the photographs, visible under magnification.

WUDPAC Fellow Kelsey is doing something out of the ordinary - inpainting a photograph while a GoPro records the action!  This week we had some reporters from the University of Delaware’s newspaper, UDaily, ask us questions, take pictures, and record video about salvaging the photos from Wimberley, TX, and Kelsey was put in the spotlight.

With the gradual removal of surface dirt and debris, every attempt is made to bring the photographs back to a condition where they can be admired and cherished once again. Each photograph requires careful testing and undivided attention!

More images from Unboxing day! Winterthur/University of Delaware graduate class of 2018 is so humbled to be able to work on such an amazing and impactful project.
