In 2014 we implemented our Adopt-a-Book Program<\/a>. To date over 44 items have been adopted by 22 donors. We started this program as a way to raise money for the conservation of materials from across our collections, especially those that we might need to send out for conservation because of an object’s size or special needs.<\/p>\n

One such project was adopted by Mrs. Georgeann C Corey in memory of George Nassif Corey (T’69). This architectural blueprint of Duke’s East Campus by Horace Trumbauer<\/a> was created in 1924. At some point in its lifetime it was the recipient of a DIY repair with self adhesive tape<\/a> and the adhesive caused a lot of staining and damage.<\/p>\n

91 linear inches of tape adorned this blueprint before treatment. That is just over 7-1\/2 feet of tape! [verso; image courtesy of NEDCC]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This was a perfect item to put up for adoption due to its size, the amount of tape removal needed, and its need to be lined. This blueprint is 52-1\/8″ by 40-1\/8″. It is too large to fit comfortably in our washing sink, and we have no suction table or karibari board<\/a> to facilitate the lining. We also wanted a digital image and facsimile reproduction made so that the original could be safely housed while the facsimile could be displayed.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the generosity of Mrs. Corey, we were able to send this drawing to the Northeast Document Conservation Center<\/a> for treatment. You can see from the images below that the treatment was truly transformative. NEDCC conservators removed 91 linear inches of tape, reduced the staining from the adhesive, washed it and repaired the tears and losses, and finally lined it with Japanese tissue. NEDCC digitally captured the drawings and made a 1:1 physical print of the file for us to use as our use copy.<\/p>\n
