\"\"<\/a>We have a new Special Collections Conservator on our staff! Grace White has joined our team.We are especially pleased to have her skills as a paper conservator added to our staff.<\/p>\n

We look forward to giving her many challenges from our collections that just scream out for an expert in flat paper conservation (can you say “tons of adhesive tape on giant maps”?).<\/p>\n

When asked about her favorite conservation project so far, Grace replied:<\/p>\n

One of my favorite conservation projects was spending the winter in Alaska in 2009, traveling among museums that did not have their own conservation departments, in a project partially funded by AIC and the Rasmuson Foundation of Alaska.<\/p>\n

I visited beautiful Fairbanks, where I worked at the Museum of the North at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks; remote Eagle, a tiny town of less than 100 people during winter, accessible only by plane but full of history and an impressive archive; and Barrow, the northernmost city in mainland North America and home to the Inupiat people as well as polar bears, snowy owls and arctic foxes.<\/p>\n

I walked on the frozen ocean, saw the northern lights, ate reindeer, learned to snowshoe, and watched a dog sled race, as well as treated many paper and vellum artifacts and taught museum staff, students and the public about conservation.\u00a0 The work was a challenge, so far away from the conservation supplies and equipment I’m used to having, but I loved the experience!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Grace holds a BA in English with a minor in Art from Covenant College<\/a>. She earned an MA in Conservation of Fine Art, Works on Paper from Northumbria University <\/a>(Newcastle upon Tyne, UK). Upon graduation in 2002 she went to work for Etherington Conservation Services<\/a> in Greensboro, North Carolina.<\/p>\n
