Review :
'This volume has great scope and will be particularly relevant to institutions with an expansive photographic culture and to museum professionals with responsibilities for collections and non-collections of photographs.' Museum Worlds 'What Photographs Do offers an illuminating tour through the various areas of the diverse museum, in which photography is part of everyday working practice in very different ways - the photographic machine rooms, so to speak, that underpin and enable all museum work. The connecting bracket is the institution under consideration. In the best sense of the word, it is an anthology that can also appeal to readers with a wide range of interests, but more at the level of individual contributions than the volume as a whole. It is all the more pleasing that the publication was published as an open access edition and access to the individual articles, all of which are worth reading, is easily possible' Rundbrief Fotographie 'What Photographs Do, combines recent and urgent questions in the history of photography and museum practice with essays from often invisible museum practitioners, such as museum photographers, digital teams and conservators. As a result, this is the first book-length investigation of the material and human traces of what Elizabeth Edwards and Sigrid Lien have called the ecosystem of photographic images in GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) settings' Science Museum Group Journal 'offer(s) a rare internal point of view on their relationship to the photographic object and its place in the functioning of the institution.' Critique D'Art
