Stereographs – 15 hinged boxes, approx. 708 views
This is a group of over 600 stereoview photographs that are stored in 15 cloth-covered lidded boxes. The stereoview slides were covered in dirt and in need of rehousing; approximately six slides exhibited greater damage. The original boxes were in poor condition and constructed out of acidic materials. Treatment consisted of surface cleaning for the dirty slides and further repair on the six more damaged slides. The original boxes were repaired and rehoused in 2 custom-made corrugated clamshell boxes. View the treatment documentation for this collection of stereoviews.
