NEDCC offers professional conservation treatment of books, photographs, maps, manuscripts, parchment, papyri, wallpaper, documents, and works of art on paper including Asian Art. The Center's Imaging Services department provides high-quality digital imaging, and the Center's photographers are experienced in the careful handling of rare and fragile materials.

Before the era of photography, people created "hair albums"—intricate collections of braided, embroidered, and stitched hair. For the Davenport House Museum, one such album stands out: a 19th-century hair album belonging to Sarah Davenport. Learn more about this unique piece of history: https://lnkd.in/e34Re3B6. Because this project was so complex, this story has been split into two parts. Part One contains a description of the album, background on Victorian hairwork, history of the Davenport family, and the ethical decision-making required by this project. For a description of the conservation treatments carried out to the binding, hair locks, and silk ribbons, please see Part Two: : https://lnkd.in/e8p9vMM8. #WomensHistoryMonth #BookConservation #BookConservator #HairAlbum #Hairwork #ConservationLab #CulturalHeritage #Libraries #Archives #Museums

"I think it is very important to know as many views and approaches to the conservation and preservation of photographs as possible and then to choose the right solutions based on all the knowledge." We are excited to welcome Lenka Lesenská as the 2025 Advanced Photograph Conservation Intern, funded by the Trust for Mutual Understanding! Lenka is a photograph conservator at the State Regional Archive in Prague and an educator at the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU). During her internship, Lenka will explore various approaches to conservation and preservation in the United States, comparing them with the methods used in the Czech Republic. This experience will allow her to expand her conservation expertise, which she will ultimately share with the next generation of photograph conservators at FAMU.
