“…Despite being placed within a frame and behind cover glass for protection, these metallic plates are prone to corrosion [6][7][8], often in the form of white (silver chloride (AgCl)), brown/red (copper oxide (Cu 2 O)), and/or black films (copper oxide (CuO), copper sulfide (CuS), silver sulfide (Ag 2 S), silver sulfate (Ag 2 SO 4 ), and silver oxide (Ag 2 O)), which distort and can sometimes completely obscure the photographic image [9,10]. The conservation of daguerreotypes has been a long-standing topic of discussion and, at times, has been a point of contention [11]. The goal of a conservation-based cleaning treatment for a daguerreotype is to preserve the optical integrity of the image while removing the tarnish from the surface (i.e., regions of high particle density remain intact and particles retain their original shape and areas of low image particle density maintain their smooth, mirror finish).…”

“…The goal of a conservation-based cleaning treatment for a daguerreotype is to preserve the optical integrity of the image while removing the tarnish from the surface (i.e., regions of high particle density remain intact and particles retain their original shape and areas of low image particle density maintain their smooth, mirror finish). A treatment process that is controllable and somewhat forgiving is highly desirable [11]. Given the inherent individuality of each daguerreotype and their variable chemistry, which depends on but is not limited to their production, how they have been stored and handled, and any past conservation efforts, treating daguerreotypes is a challenge and some treatment methods have caused the fading and/or complete loss of historic images.…”
