Overview

Master of Arts - Film and Photography Preservation and Collections Management

Film and photography preservation has been redefined by digital technologies. 

Responding to these dramatic changes, Toronto Metropolitan University’s F+PPCM program provides a rigorous and intensive professional education of applied and theoretical courses in the history, technology and intellectual organization of image and audiovisual collections. 

The only program of its kind in the world, F+PPCM offers a curriculum developed and delivered by a range of specialists, from historians and practitioners of photo- and film-based media to museum, library and archive professionals.

The intensive, two-year (6-term) graduate program assumes that a film or photographic preservation specialist or collections manager must be acquainted with the materials of film/photography, its history, the social and cultural conditions of its production, and the critical and theoretical conceptions that inform its reception. 

Eleven half-year courses, an internship, a field placement (residency), and a professional practice project/thesis are designed to provide students with a graduate program in which historical knowledge, practical experience, and professional education are fully integrated.

Course offerings in the graduate program include seminars in photographic and film materials and history and issues of curatorial practice and practicums taught by Ryerson faculty who are preservation and conservation specialists. 

Students complete an internship and special collections in the third term of the program.
