I spy a good dog. We’re starting preparations for the newest Special Collections exhibit going up at the end of August that will include some very unique items from the collection, including this little guy. #specialcollections #conservation #exhibitprep #dog https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EjiENnA9z/?igshid=1jjam6qv4iovk
“It’s probably going to take like two audiobooks...” so far, I’m right on track with my timing estimate ••• #bookdragongoestogradschool #bookdragonstudio #calligraphy #exhibitprep #earlymodernscience #walnutink https://www.instagram.com/p/BwLB6OThsXe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iq96bils2oxu
Solzhenitsyn in the works
We are finishing up the last items needing treatment for the upcoming exhibit featuring influential Russian writer, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. In the image below, page mends are being applied to stabilize an unbound leaf from a typescript.
The exhibit will be on view this fall in Rare Books and Special Collections at the Hesburgh Library. Learn more about the recent excitement behind this collection, and what Notre Dame is doing to establish an American home for Solzhenitsyn research.
Exhibit nerd time!!! 🤓 The illuminated manuscripts on display at the Cloisters used a very clever method to hold the pages open without disrupting the view. Mylar strapping was affixed to the page below the on on display, while a nearly invisible white thread held open the top pages. Elegant!! I also loved how each case had a cloth cover that can be lowered when the exhibit is closed.
The exhibit season is upon us! Bright and early Monday morning we install the comics exhibit. I’ve been creating cradles out of vivak for some of the items. We use this break to make creases, giving us a small window of time before the vivak sets to bend and shape the creases to the desired angles. #exhibitprep #specialcollections https://www.instagram.com/p/BsgGL20gIU6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cl0s9kkqrgbj

Had an AWESOME day at the @burkemuseum looking at #fossils of #dinosaurs and mammals and plants. #visiblestorage was neat, especially the “fishbowl” workshops and #exhibitprep https://www.instagram.com/p/B48rQwqH-ig/?igshid=h86qocwl53fe
Here’s something we worked on recently. This loan is heading out to the @nationalsportinglm for their upcoming Ellen Emmet Rand exhibit (be sure to check it out from October 4 to March 22). The objects needed stabilizing for transport with corrugated barriers and walls. Stay tuned for more pics! #enclosuredesign #exhibitprep #museumexhibit https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mVXtJFQms/?igshid=1hzcdbmqt3sbl
