Master’s Program in Photograph Preservation

This is so cool!

The University of Rochester and George Eastman House are now offering a Master’s program on photograph preservation:

The program will be the only one in the United States dedicated to the study of the photograph as an object (the care and handling of photographs) as well as the related academic study of images (theoretical and historical context).

While I certainly, do not need anymore degrees and am not going to pack up and move to New York to get one, I kind of want their reading lists. I’m very interested in learning what the “experts” read compared to what “average jane or joe photo enthusiast” might read. Perhaps there is overlap, but I’m guessing there is divergence, too.
