CWAS 721: Technology of Furniture Making: Structure
This course provides the attendees with a general knowledge of the
materials and processes employed in making furniture in both pre-
and mechanized eras. Particularly important is the review of tools
and their uses, so that an observer can identify their
"fingerprints" on an object, and thus provide clues as to the means
by which the object was made, Through demonstration and "hands-on"
exercises the attendees will be compiling a reference collection of
tool marks and techniques to use for the remainder of their
careers. Instructor: Donald C. Williams

CWAS 470: History, Technology, and Preservation of Specialty
Papers, Archives Materials, and Ephemera
Many collections found in libraries, archives, museums and private
collections contain unique specialty papers. Specialty papers (such
as dyed, coated or tracing papers) are used for many types of
objects (including letters, maps, sketches, illustrations,
architectural drawings, posters and greeting cards). This course is
designed to familiarize professionals with the nature and diversity
of specialty papers, training participants through lectures and
laboratory demonstrations in techniques used to identify the
composition and condition of these types of collections. The course
will cover case studies about traditional and specialty papers
researched and analyzed at the Smithsonian. Information used to
appraise collections will also be discussed. The course is intended
to inform prospective caretakers and appraisers on the nature of
these materials. Instructor: Dianne van der Reyden
