Lisa showed us how to encase a photograph in mylar this week – the satellite photo I wrote about a few weeks ago:
The operation was successful. There are a huge number of photographs in the collection so we’re not going to have time to do that this semester, but we got to learn how to encapsulate a photo that doesn’t fit into any of the standard mylar sheets.
Other than that I’ve just been labeling the folders, adding last things to archivist’s toolkit and working on the finding aid.
Also, if you find yourselves in Claremont on Friday the 8th at 2:30, myself and the other two CCEPS students will be giving presentations on our work this semester. It will run until about 4pm, come check it out!
Later –
