DAVENPORT, IOWA (June 17, 2021) — Join us in learning how to practically care for and preserve materials at home with tips and tricks from the staff of the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center. Each workshop will showcase different techniques and share applicable knowledge on creating tools and demonstrating methods of preservation for photographs, letters, books, and more.
In this month's Preservation Workshop on Thursday, June 24, 2PM, learn why encapsulation is a better option than lamination for your heirlooms and view demonstrations of items being encapsulated by Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Library Assistant Karen O'Connor. We will share the materials you need and instructions to do this at home.
