Gajewská, Barbara ; JŮN, Libor (advisor) ; Batistová, Anna (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis was exploration, interpretation and proposing of the preventive care of photographic fund from the state castle Grabštejn. The theoretical part is generally dedicated to the funds and collections administered by the National Heritage Institute, their destiny after the 2nd World War and the historical context which caused movements of these funds. A separate chapter is also devoted to the methods of exploration of the funds and collections. The second part of this thesis focuses on the history of the Grabštejn castle and its last owners - the Clam-Gallas family, with whom the preserved photographs are associated, and on the transport of the funds in the postwar period. The thesis follows the main journey of the photographic fund and related archival materials from the Grabštejn state castle to the collecting sites, museums and archives. Therefore the survey also took place in the National Museum Archives, the National Archives, the Institute of Art History of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the State Regional Archives in Litoměřice. The fundamental part of the survey was carried out in the castle Grabštejn. There were also studied the specific climate conditions for the photographs, which differ in the castle from the classical museum and archival depositories. Measuring of humidity and temperature was evaluated at the end of the thesis and recommendations for the preventive care were suggested.

Revitilisation of the Daguerreotype Process
Ackerman, Jan Luca ; PETERA, Jiří (advisor) ; BORÝSKOVÁ, Štěpánka (referee)
The aim of this research is to revitalize the daguerreotype process and prepare an applicable manual for the consistent preparation of quality daguerreotype plates for the further applied research of this photographic material.
Many (collecting) art and historical institutions have important holdings in this medium, and, with the presently increasing interest in photography, (and daguerreotypes in particular) and its history, daguerreotypes will be in need of professional evaluation and treatment more often.
Daguerreotypes are the oldest, least understood and most complex systems of the photographic medium to date, and currently there is no accepted method of cleaning to prevent further deterioration.
This research summarizes a brief history of the daguerreotype, past and current conservation practices, current preventative care, and most importantly, a method of creating reliable test material to study this phenomenon.
