Out of the Ordinary: Preserving Ephemera & Oversize Materials
Thursday, December 8, 2005 - Philadelphia, PA
Presented by the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts
(CCAHA)and Cosponsored by the American Philosophical Society (APS)
About the workshop
This workshop will examine the myriad of challenges faced in preserving
a wide variety of non-standard paper items produced in the 19th and 20th
centuries, including paper dolls, greeting cards, posters, maps,
blueprints, baseball cards, miniature books, and scrapbooks. The size,
the use of mixed media, and the often-transient nature of these objects,
add to the complexity of their preservation needs. This educational
program will address the need to retain basic preservation guidelines
while creatively developing effective storage and handling solutions for
a variety of items.
This program is intended for curators, librarians, archivists, and
collection managers involved in the care of collections that include
paper-based objects large and small.
