Launch of the fourth edition of the Lingua Franca e-book
Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is launching the fourth edition of its eBook Lingua Franca: A Common Language for Conservators of Photographic Materials.
Originally published in English and French, the third edition expanded to include a Spanish version. Now, the fourth edition introduces Portuguese translations, generously provided by Luisa Casella, independent photograph conservator; Clara Mosciaro, conservation supervisor, Instituto Moreira Salles; Guilherme Dias, Jessica Silva, and Tatiana Novás, photograph conservators; and a group of conservators and scholars from NOVA FCT’s Department of Conservation and Restoration, led by Assistant Professor Élia Roldão, PhD.
First launched in 2017, Lingua Franca was developed in collaboration with the Atelier de Restauration et de Conservation des Photographies de la Ville de Paris and became LAC’s first English-French visual glossary of photo conservation terms.
