Although photography had a profound social presence and influence in the last 150 years, the conservation of photographic objects has been developed relatively recently in the last 30 years. This has been done through the chemical characterization and historical research of photographic objects regarding the subjects of this study tintypes the scientific literature is still rare. During the period of their production, a great variety of materials was used, because photographic processes were evolving very quickly and a lot of materials were being tried to achieve better results.
