Kick off Preservation Week at Kelvin Smith Library’s Preservation Parlor on Monday, April 23 at 12:00 pm with tips and tricks to preserving photographs, books, letters, newspapers, and family artifacts. See a live demonstration of the various techniques used to treat and preserve damaged artifacts. Following the presentation, you are invited to bring one item (book, letter, newspaper, or photograph) for a personal consultation on how to best preserve your item.
