Albert M. Greenfield Conservation & Research Center

The Albert M. Greenfield Conservation & Research Center provides reference services for visiting researchers and staff and serves as a collection care facility for the Institute's library and archival collections. Preventive care includes placing materials in protective enclosures, such as custom-built boxes, phase boxes, Mylar wrappers, and encapsulation. Preservation treatments include surface cleaning; flattening papers; repairing paper tears; reattaching spines, boards and loose leaves; and resewing text blocks.
