[Thursday] 2002 Conservation Assessment report

[David Caldwell]

In 2002 the museum received a grant to have a qualified museum conservator
some in and prepare a report on the museum's collections and buildings. We
thought that report might have been lost, but in the Merriam's workshop
last week we found a burned, wet, moldy copy!

I cleaned and scanned the report and reconstructed the text--there is a lot
in it that is relevant today. The main body of the report is attached. The
photos and other attachments are too large to send in email, but they are
in the museum's Dropbox space, and I'd be glad to share them with anyone
who wants to read them--just let me know.

[regarding the reconstruction: the report's author wasn't much of a speller
and seems to have had a love/hate relationship with the whole English
language. I've tried to correct his spelling, but the
occasionally-mystifying sentences are just the way he wrote them.]
