Cleaning and repair of personal letters by Florence
Nightingale, Samuel Clemmons, "Buffalo Bill," President U.S. Grant,
et cetera, et cetera. Now, to be honest, I can't even tell you how many times I've had occasion to work on such collectible items. Usually, these items need minimal cleaning, de-acidification, and preparation for archival framing or encapsulation in Mylar-D. Sometimes they need more extensive care, such as that usually required for land-grant documents. But they're a great part of our history, and I always enjoy having the opportunity to make sure they survive for others to appreciate. |
