What You Will Learn

The Filson Historical Society located in Old Louisville has over 100,000 photographic items within its collection. A large portion is comprised of local Louisville, Southern Indiana, and Kentucky family photographs. While you may be familiar with the Filson’s library resources, many forget about our visual resources. Filson’s Curator of Manuscripts, and former Curator of Photographs & Prints will give an overview of the Filson’s Photographic Collections, an overview of 19th century photographic formats, and some tips on how to preserve your own family photographs.

Speaker

Heather Potter is the Curator of Manuscripts and former Curator of Photographs & Prints at The Filson Historical Society; prior she was a Project Archivist at the Kentucky Historical Society. Potter received her BA in History from Washburn University, Topeka, Kansas, and MLS with an emphasis in Archives from Indiana University – Bloomington.
