| The 418 oldest reels have been performed, which means that 14,595 snapshots have been digitized | Restoration work has been completed on part of the José Antonio Tomás photographic archive, whose negatives were donated by the photographer himself and his family in 2013 and are currently in the Ethnography section of the Jerónimo Molina Museum. Today they have been delivered to the mayor of Jumilla, Juana Guardiola, by Mario Moreno, head of the company that has been in charge of the restoration.
They have been accompanied by the Councilor for Culture, Pilar Martínez, the head of the Culture area of ??the City Council, Andrés Martínez, and the director of the Museum of Ethnography and Sciences, Cayetano Herrero.
"This is great news for local culture," said the mayor. 418 photographic reels were carried out, cleaning each one of them as well as smoothing, dividing and adapting the negatives to a storage system in groups of six, suitable for their conservation.
Likewise, each of the 14,595 photographs has been digitized at 2,400 pixels per inch and recovered.
The restoration has started with the oldest reels because their state of conservation was worse.
The photographs are dated between the late 1940s and early 1970s, whose content is very varied, from weddings, religious events and holidays, sports events or images of offices. The work has been carried out by an expert in the conservation and restoration of documentary, bibliographic, archive material and photography heritage, at a cost of 14,883 euros, who has described the result as "the making available of a large photo album of the jumillanos ".
