Meet Our Student Assistants
Claire Bosch is from Western Springs, Illinois. She is currently working towards a Bachelor of Arts degree in History with a minor in Theology. Claire applies her past experience working at the Snite Museum by demonstrating her knowledge of safeguarding and preserving our one-of-a-kind collections. She exhibits an exceptional level of manual dexterity and a commitment to precision and thoroughness. Claire’s accuracy is critical in the process of measuring and creating customized enclosures for various-sized books. She designs clamshell and “tuxedo” style boxes as demonstrated in the picture above. Claire fabricates mylar jackets that are tailored to protect rare volumes. She has recently learned how to preserve specialized collections by using deacidification spray to slow the process of future deterioration.
Thanks to all of our students for being a valuable part of our preservation team!
