Summary/Abstract: The article examines the restoration of photographs as a specific “language” in which scientific, ethical, and cultural dimensions intersect. The focus is placed on the characteristics of photographic techniques and their vulnerabilities, as well as on preservation strategies. It emphasizes that in Bulgaria there is a lack of systematic terminology and institutionalized practice, which poses a risk of losing authenticity. Photography is viewed not only as a technical carrier of images but also as a cultural artifact and a source for history and the humanities. The article argues that the development of a professional language and ethical standards is essential for preserving photographs as part of collective memory and for transforming them into a valuable research resource.
