In 1992 they organised, funded and hosted The Imperfect Image: Photographs Their Past, Present and Future, the first international conference on photographic conservation. This conference devoted specifically to photographic conservation brought together the world’s leading photographic conservators, conservation scientists, historians and curators and represented a truly international consensus of knowledge and opinion across the multidisciplinary fields concerned with photography and photographic preservation and conservation. This landmark conference also firmly established, on an international level, the status of photographic conservation and preservation as a discipline in its own right.
