“An art conservator is a kind of secret hero, working in stealth to make it seem as though all artworks on view have always been bright, shiny, and untouched by time. As a SAM intern, I grew familiar with employing vastly different treatments to an assortment of objects and sculptures.” – Andy Delapp, SAM Emerging Arts Leader There’s a new intern reflection on #SAMBlog! Check it out now to read about Andy DeLapp’s experience as an Emerging Arts Leader and how the skills they learned from SAM’s dedicated team of conservators transformed their own practice as an oil painter. https://lnkd.in/gvkArZbn

Join this free online lecture from the Library of Congress and the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration on the impact of long-term anoxic/hypoxic encasements on August 13! "For more than ten years, Waldseemüller’s 1507 World Map and the Abel Buell map were on exhibit at the Library of Congress. Such long-term exhibitions were made possible by using anoxic and hypoxic encasements. These two maps were taken off exhibit in 2022-2023 and probably provide the first examples of test data on the impact of long-term display in anoxia and hypoxia storage on paper-based materials. Speakers from the Library and the National Archives will describe the development of advanced encasements for their institutions and the monitoring of their internal environments during deployment. Additionally, the Library will present its research approach to assess before and after exhibition data of the maps, and discuss implications of the results for future preservation planning."
