Abstract The late 19th century photographs are chemically a multilayer material of several inorganic and organic compounds. A great variety of composition is observed as consequence of the large number of photographic processes and products that were used in those days as well as resulting of ageing effects. The data about the chemical composition of a photographic material can be very useful in determining its age and authenticity as in searching for appropriate restoring techniques or storage protocols. Most of the conservation work was done based on artistic evaluation; nevertheless, during the last decade, non-destructive analytical techniques have been associated with microscopic and visual methods for the identification and conservation of photographs and photographic emulsions. This work, presents the analytical studies performed on two selected 19th century photographs; a multi-technique non-destructive approach was used to determine the composition and degradation status of the selected photographic samples.
