The Redwood Library and Athenaeum's offer of 50 free copies of  "To
Preserve Hidden Treasures: From the Scrapbooks of Charles Bird King"
(Conservation DistList Instance: 11:2, June 20, 1997) drew many
responses from this list. We're grateful for the time many of you
took in your requests to explain the particular preservation
challenges you face. We received requests from as far afield as
Hawaii, Denmark, and England.

The exhibition catalog, published with the assistance of the Rhode
Island Committee for the Humanities, presents 19th century artist
Charles Bird King's scrapbooks, focusing on the need for their
conservation as it addresses the wider concerns of archival
conservation and its significance to the preservation of man's
cultural heritage. A world-wide-web version of the catalog is under
construction at Redwood's web site <URL:http://www.redwood1747.or>).

We have only four more free copies left; additional copies are available
at a cost of $7.50 plus $2.50 postage & handling, from:
