Supervisor: Betty Fiske, Paper Conservator

  • Paper/Book Conservation

    Some of the main projects that I worked on were the treatments of historic ledgers. I mended and rebound one volume, as well as making a facsimile that could go on exhibit. Other small mending treatments were also performed.

  • Collections Care

    I helped with the general maintenance of the collection, including adding accession numbers to objects and entering them into the digital database.

  • Collection Storage Survey

    I completed a survey of one of the glass and ceramics storage areas to take an inventory as well as determine what space was needed for further acquisitions.
