Join Newberry Conservation Services as they fearlessly walk you through some of the ways they battle against the evils of deterioration. Hear how Conservation staff members defend Newberry materials against unwanted pests and create amazing custom housing to protect individual items. See how Newberry conservators use their powers of 100x magnification to stabilize pigments on our parchment manuscripts and use heightened powers of investigation to unearth collection secrets in the process of their daily work.
