The Pasadena Museum of History (PMH) presents an online exhibition, “Frozen Frames: Preserving Pasadena’s Visual Legacy,” on Tuesday, January 25, at 7 p.m.
The PMH Research Library and Archives maintains the area’s largest and most complete photographic archives of Pasadena and the west San Gabriel Valley – an estimated one million historical images. In 2015, the Museum embarked on an ambitious, yet successful project, the Great History Freeze, to preserve 200,000 at-risk, irreplaceable historical photo negatives through cryogenics. This project successfully stopped the deterioration of the negatives, ensuring their viability for generations to come.
A selection of representative images from these collections are featured in the Museum’s premiere online exhibition, making them available for the first time to a wider audience. During the event, PHM Education and Program Manager Daniel Nevarez will have a one-on-one interview with Director of Collections and Curator Anuja Navare, as the Museum explores the journey from the Great History Freeze to this four-part exhibition series, “Frozen Frames: Preserving Pasadena’s Visual Legacy.”
