‘Caring for Your Masonic Treasures’

     
Somehow there still is a Masonic Museum and Library in Lexington, and the good people there have revised their old brochure Caring for Your Masonic Treasures, Jeff Croteau recently reported to the Masonic Library and Museum Association. Info includes:



  • The kinds of materials you might encounter in your collection
  • The ideal conditions in which to store your collections
  • The types of storage enclosures (boxes, folders, etc.) to use when storing your collections
  • How to contact and hire a professional conservator to repair damaged documents and books


The guidelines in this booklet will help you feel confident that you are doing what you can to help insure the long-term preservation of your documents, photographs, and books.


There is a PDF for download here, and there is a digital booklet format here.
