Two recent American Philosophical Society Museum exhibitions, Curious Revolutionaries and Conservation and the Peale-Sellers Family Collection, included selected items from the collection. The conservation staff reviewed the selected items to ensure that they were stable enough to display for months without fading, discoloring, or suffering physical damage. When books or manuscripts could not be exhibited without conservation treatment, conservators repaired or stabilized them. Conservation of natural specimens and cultural artifacts is essential today, as it was for Charles Willson Peale when he opened his museum in Philosophical Hall. ReneÌe Wolcott tells readers in her introduction, "As the owner of the nation's first natural history museum, Charles Willson Peale served as both curator and conservator, concerned with selecting specimens for exhibition and preserving them for future museum visitors. He was also his own archivist, saving letters, diaries, and museum records that passed through his family for generations before becoming enshrined in the APS Library. This book examines the materials Peale and his family have left us, considers their preservation challenges, and discusses the evolution of conservation care for archival collections. Case studies of conservation treatment for six historic Peale-related artifacts illustrate some of the ways in which today's conservators preserve the materials of the past for the sake of the future."--back cover. 600 30 $a Peale family $x Archives. 600 30 $a Sellers family $x Archives. 600 37 $a Peale family. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00218126 600 37 $a Sellers family. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00216889 610 27 $a American Philosophical Society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529503 650 0 $a Library materials $x Conservation and restoration $z Philadelphia. $z Philadelphia. 650 0 $a Archival materials $x Conservation and restoration $z Philadelphia. $z Philadelphia. 650 7 $a Archival materials $x Conservation and restoration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813994 650 7 $a Archives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814030 650 7 $a Library materials $x Conservation and restoration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997803 651 7 $a Pennsylvania $z Philadelphia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204170 700 1 $a Wolcott, ReneÌe, $d 1960- $e editor. 830 0 $a Transactions of the American Philosophical Society; $v v.108, pt.1. $x 0065-9746 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012054.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20191018013029.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B543B8A0F16C11E99671E53E97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
