Abstract
Los materiales fotográficos son una especialidad dentro del ámbito de la conservación del patrimonio cultural que, desde su corta trayectoria, se ha vinculado tradicionalmente a otras ramas aines como los documentos gráficos. Actualmente, en otros países la fotografía es una disciplina independiente, reconocida y regulada, de cuyas labores de preservación se encarga un conservador-restaurador de materiales fotográficos. En España, a nivel administrativo y laboral, es una profesión que no está contemplada, ya que tampoco existe una especialidad o vía dentro de la enseñanza reglada de la conservación. Esta situación ha provocado que los profesionales que trabajan en este entorno tengan carencias formativas, hayan aprendido de forma autodidacta e incluso se hayan visto obligados a emigrar en busca de una formación de calidad y un reconocimiento laboral. La presente propuesta tiene como objetivo realizar un estado de la cuestión actual basado en la experiencia personal y partiendo de algunas de las premisas y objetivos recogidos dentro del Plan Nacional de Conservación del Patrimonio Fotográfico de 2015 y dar una definición aproximada de las competencias necesarias para ejercer esta profesión.
Photographic materials are an art conservation specialization with a short history that has been linked traditionally with other materials such as graphic documents. Currently, in other countries photograph conservation is an independent discipline, recognized and regulated, whose work is performed by a specialized photograph conservator. In Spain, it is a profession that is not recognized in administrative and employment terms, mainly because there is no specialty within academic degrees in art conservation. This situation has prompted that professionals working in this environment have serious training deiciencies, have learned self-taught and even, have been forced to migrate in search of quality training and employment recognition. The purpose of this article is to make a current state of the art based on personal experience and aims included in the National Plan in Photographic Heritage Conservation (2015) and to give a rough definition of main competences and skills needed for this profession.
