Summary:

The photograph and the collection brings together a rich variety of perspectives which explore the four key processes of creation, preservation, analysis and presentation. Many focus on the photograph album - itself a "curated experience"--And they span the analogue and the digital, the published and the private. This substantial 660-page book - lavishly illustrated with more than 200 colour photographs - aims to be a helpful and stimulating guide to maximising the power and effectiveness of photographic collections.
