Behind the Scenes with LVA for Preservation Week 2024

Preservation Week, April 28-May 4, promotes the role of libraries and other institutions in preserving personal and public collections and treasures. Go behind the scenes with the Library of Virginia’s conservator, Leslie Courtois, to learn about her preservation work on two current projects: portraits from a family history and a model of the Richmond Coliseum.

The ambrotype "family tree" is wonderful! Thanks for sharing your conservation efforts. Do you intend to keep it intact? What will you do with the genealogical information on the back? I hope that information can be put in a finding aid at some point.
