Staten Island Institute of Arts and Science

The Staten Island Museum will complete a conservation treatment and digitization project of seven items from the museum's document and works on paper collection. Activities include the transport of the documents to a professional conservation center, conservation treatment, consultation with the conservator through the treatment process, digitization, consultation with imaging specialists, return of the documents to the museum's archives and library, and the compilation of treatment data for the permanent collection archival records. Once treatment is completed and digitization is finalized, the items will be placed back into the permanent collection for research use and possible exhibition in the near future.
