The Canadian Conservation Insitute website is one of my favorites, and
it's geared toward the general public.

Subject: resources on object preservation

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
