Carroll, Illinois, is again offering a four-day course on the Care
of Oversize and Unusual Paper Artifacts.  The course will take place
July 24-27, 1996, at the Campbell Center in Illinois.  It will
address the care, handling and storage of oversize and unusual

wallpapers.  The instructor will be Mary Todd Glaser, Director of

The course includes a review of materials, media and mechanisms for
deterioration; storage options; handling, including unrolling of
brittle papers; and hands-on training in flattening, surface
