Caring
for Home Collections
Preservation supply companies (see http//www.library.cornell.edu/preservation/
for links to several companies) have a wide range of safe storage formats
for a variety of objects, textiles, paper and photographs. Two brochures,
The Care of Family Papers and the Home Library and Preserving
Your Family Photographs, are available at http//www.library.cornell.edu/preservation/.
Additional information on the care of glass, ceramics, metal objects,
textiles, paper and photographs can be found at the American Institute
for Conservation’s web site http//aic.stanford.edu/treasure/
and the Canadian Conservation Institute’s Preserving My Heritage
web site www.preservation.gc.ca.
An excellent reference with chapters on many types of objects and collections
is Caring for Your Collections Preserving and Protecting Your Art and
Other Collectibles (the National Committee to Save America’s Cultural
Collections Arthur W. Schultz, Chairman, New York Harry N. Abrams, 1992).
