Impact of climate change on historical photograph damage

Emil Henin

One of the most intractable problems facing those responsible
for world heritage is that of climate change. Climate
change implies that the environmental conditions
will be different in the future, and thus shift the external
factors important to cultural heritage.
Cultural resources are our record of the human experience.
Collectively, archeological sites, cultural landscapes,
ethnographic resources, museum collections, and
historic buildings and structures connect one generation
to the next.
In particular, the main aim of this study is Preserve Historical
photographs from impact of climate changes to
protect it for future generations.
For many people, collecting antique and historical photographs
is a hobby but historians examine these kinds
of photos regularly. They examine them to see what life
was like in the period they were shot so historical photographs
are super important. They are one of the ways we
remember what happened in the past.
Climate changes has a serious impact on Photographs
damage (Atmospheric moisture change - Temperature
change - Sea level rises – Wind - Desertification - Climate
and pollution acting together - Climate and biological effects
) .
Therefore, preserving and Conservation photographs is
imperative to achieve sustainability.
