Since its publication in 1993, The Permanence and Care of Color Photographs: Traditional and Digital Color Prints, Color Negatives, Slides, and Motion Pictures, by Henry Wilhelm and contributing author Carol Brower, has received critical acclaim in more than 100 reviews and articles in newspapers, photography magazines, and museum publications. In 1994 the book was awarded a special commendation by the Society of American Archivists for ". . .writing of superior excellence and usefulness, which advances the theory and practice of preservation in archival institutions." Although this fully-illustrated 744-page hardbound book focuses on color photography — it is the first book published in the world on the stability and preservation of color photographs and motion pictures — the book also gives the most comprehensive set of recommendations ever published on the storage and display of black-and-white photographs. In addition, the book discusses and shows disturbing examples of the catastrophic image degradation that can occur with displayed black-and-white RC prints.
