I just attended the Midwest Region Conservation Guild meeting. There was a good talk on the conservation of various types of miniatures. I would suggest you contact the presenter of that talk, Cecile Mear, Conservator at the Cincinnai Art Museum, [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> .

They are framed and date to the early 1900s. Are there any tips on preservation or a certain method used for these paintings? I'm interested in storage and display options. Thanks for any help.
