At Home with the Smithsonian Libraries: Meet Our Book Conservators
On May 5th, 2020, to celebrate the American Library Association’s Preservation Week and move into National Preservation Month, we offered a special conservation-themed webinar. This webinar featured two of our book conservators: Daniel Viltsek and Katie Wagner. Katie and Daniel chatted about preservation, demonstrated some book conservation techniques, and then took a few questions from participants. If you’ve ever wondered how professionals conserve rare and delicate books or how to take care of your own books, now is your chance to learn more!
