The true, surviving memories of those challenging yet victorious times are held by a rapidly diminishing generation of Canadians. Within many families, the only tangible memories that link with these important events are a few cracked and faded photographs glued into the family album. The album probably needs to be replaced after years of use and the photos are possibly in danger of being lost or, worse still, deteriorating beyond repair. . For many years, professional photographers have been restoring these kinds of old photos. Studios and laboratories have been perfecting techniques and applying them to scratched negatives and prints that are torn, faded or damaged by moisture.

The first step is to evaluate the damage and estimate the cost of restoration. Once the customer signs an "Approval to Proceed" the second step is to re-photo- graph the original photo to produce what is called a "copy negative". It is from this negative that a "working print" is made. This enables the artist to do all the restoration work on the working print, leaving the original photo to be returned to the customer in its original condition. The next step is to photograph the restored image on the working print and produce a final print. At this point, any number of prints can be produced for the customer. Careful attention is paid to the matching colour, tone and density so that evidence of the artwork will be barely visible. Depending on the condition of) I the original photo, restoration techniques will vary. Special photographic dyes, pencils or chalks may be used and in severe cases the artist will use a technique called "airbrushing"- painting with air-injected liquid dyes.
