Dear Colleagues,

We have a tiny doll made of rubber in our collection. The doll dates to
around 1858. The rubber has become fragile, and one doll arm is broken. Can
anybody please recommend a conservation specialist, preferably in Northern
California? Alternatively, is there a method to stabilize the material?

As always, thank you for your help!
