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 Tuesday, October 19^th at 2:00 pm, we will demonstrate how to make homemade phase boxes. Phase boxes are simple, relatively inexpensive boxes designed to protect books, scrapbooks, albums, and similar items. We will share the materials you need and instructions to do this at home!
