A Look Inside the Conservation Department

~


Recently, the Library's Conservation department began a routine cleaning of the collections. Some of our volumes are very delicate and must be treated with care, kept out of direct sunlight, and only handled with gloves. It is these most delicate and precious volumes that our department meticulously cleans and stabilizes. It would be a shame if these precious tomes were lost, as it would represent the destruction of a unique world view.
