Customized Projects Featuring Various Techniques
Custom Archival Enclosures
(Custom Project, 2021)
This complete set of custom archival enclosures was created for a collection of antiquated medical books. Each enclosure was tailored to the precise dimensions of its volume, ensuring a secure fit that minimizes handling stress. Made from breathable, archival-quality materials, the boxes protect against light, dust, and pests while also buffering fluctuations in temperature and humidity—safeguarding the long-term preservation of this fragile and historically significant collection.
Restoration of a Late 18th-Century Book
(Custom Project, 2024)
This late 18th-century book featured detached signatures, loose pages, and heavy wear to the spine and cover corners. The book was carefully disassembled, its page sections re-sewn to secure them in place, and rebound in period-appropriate leather. The restoration preserves both the book’s historical character and its usability.
Family History (Custom Project, 2022)
A rich collection of family photos, heirlooms, and notes represented a unique family story, but lacked documentation to created coherent historical narrative. Through a detailed inventory of these items and targeted archival research, gaps were identified, timelines clarified, and materials contextualized. What began as scattered fragments was transformed into a more complete family story that could be shared with future generations.
19th-Century Manuscript Repair and Translation (Project Showcase, 2023)
This fragile 19th-century German manuscript underwent remedial conservation and translation. Ultra-thin Japanese tissue, toned with archival-safe pigment, was applied to stabilize the paper and preserve its legibility. After the repairs, the manuscript was given a unique archival enclosure to preserve it for years to come, illustrating how services can overlap to meet a variety of applications and objectives.
