Conservation advice and implementation of care
We consulted with Smithsonian paper conservators and archivists who suggested solutions that would work well for our needs, budget, and staff. Conservators then trained Paleobiology staff and volunteers to provide basic care for our paper-based materials. These methods were designed so that our regular staff, volunteers, and interns could work on the collection within a modest budget. Complex conservation treatment was always performed by professional paper conservators.
