Chris,

Here in Italy we us also "Antiche tecniche", notwithstanding Photography 
could not be really defined "antique", and some techniques are quite recent 
(for example, temperaprint). I am used to use also "historical techniques".
In the statute of Rodolfo Namias Group have tried to give a more complex 
definition, like "photographic processes both historical and alternative to 
industrial and mass ones, from which they differ in the predominant 
component of craftsmanship that characterize them". 

I know that the German group similar to GRN is using "Edeldruckwehrfaren", 
that may be translated in "noble print" (any German people could correct 
me...)
