TORONTO, ONTARIO: www.toronto.com
Toronto has a thriving photography and arts community. There is a wide range of exhibitions
in the city's many museums, archives, libraries, commercial galleries, and parallel (non-profit)
exhibition spaces. A number of these public institutions house extensive photographic
collections - for example, the Metropolitan Toronto Public Library, Metropolitan Toronto
Archives, Archives of Ontario, and Art Gallery of Ontario - which would provide material for
course work as well as placement opportunities for the program's internships. In addition to
various lecture series, conferences, and symposia, there is an annual photography festival,
Contact, which sponsors exhibitions, conferences, and workshops, and attracts international
curators, critics, and photographers to the city.
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK: www.visitrochester.com
Rochester has long been the centre of photographic industry and education, and possesses
the world’s highest concentration of resources for research and teaching in the area of
photographic preservation. Nearly every practicing photographic conservator, curator, and
archivist throughout the world has, over the past two decades, taken advantage of Rochester
for its unique learning opportunities.The city has
a wide range of arts and cultural institutions on which this program
can draw to enhance the
curriculum. The historians, educators, curators, scientists, and
archivists working
at the Visual Studies
Workshop, the Rochester Museum and Science Center, the Rochester
Institute of Technology (including its
Image Permanence Institute), the Rochester City
Archives,
and the
Susan B. Anthony House enjoy a close
working relationship with GEH staff. Thus
students in this program
will have access not only to enormous
groups of photographs collected
for
different cultural and historic
reasons, but to professionals with many
years of experience
in the field of photographic history, archival
practices, conservation, and preservation
science. These
collections can provide suitable material for internship
projects,
and staff from these and other
local institutions can also serve as guest lecturers, adjunct faculty,
and project supervisors for students.
