Hello all,

This spring I will be giving a program to a genealogy group on how to take
care of your treasured objects.  I would like to compile a bibliography of
helpful resources (books, websites, etc.) for the attendees.  However,
most of the websites and books that I'm familiar with are geared more
toward those with conservation/museum training.  Does anyone have
suggestions for helpful resources aimed at people with little or no
professional training in artifact preservation/conservation.  (I'm going
in with the assumption that the attendees will be most interested in
conserving photos, paper-based materials, and textile.)

Thanks in advance for any help,
Amanda Dyer
Bell County Museum
