Disaster Response and Recovery: A Hands-on Intensive
The Center for Jewish History hosted an on-site, all-day disaster recovery intensive on Friday, June 14, 2019. The financial support for the workshop was given by the Center for Jewish History, offering it free of charge to the Partners. The workshop was taught by the Preservation Specialist, Samantha Forsko, and Mellon Paper Conservation Fellow, Juliet Baines, from the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts.
Preparation for an emergency or disaster is one of the most important steps that a cultural institution can take to safeguard collections. This hands-on salvage training workshop allowed participants to learn about the Incident Command System, site assessment, and personal safety. Then, they practice salvaging a variety of objects (paper, photographs, books, paintings, wooden furniture, glass/metal/ceramic objects, and textiles) from pools of water. Personal safety, initial site assessment, object triage, and tracking, and post-disaster debriefing was also addressed. Participants left with the knowledge of how to respond in the event of an emergency.
We are so pleased that so many people from our partnering and senior management were able to join us!

Workshop on Sink Mats, Four-Flap, and Four-Flap with Pamphlet Enclosures
The Werner J. and Gisella Levi Cahnman Preservation Laboratory offered a workshop on Sink Mats, Four-Flap, and Four-Flap with Pamphlet Enclosures for the CJH and Partner staff on May 30th, 2:00 – 4:00 pm. Participants created a sampler of three types of enclosures typically used in conservation including sink mats, four-flap, and four-flap with a pamphlet. We began by building a four-flap enclosure for which was fitted around a pamphlet. Participants were encouraged to bring a small object from your personal collection, such as a soft cover book, that needs an enclosure. For the sink mat enclosure, if you have something small, flat, thin, and fragile bring it with you. Materials were provided. Participants were encouraged to keep their objects small because it made it easier to work with. Spots were limited to ten people due to space limitations.

Notepads Workshop
Every year, the Werner J. and Gisella Levi Cahnman Preservation Laboratory offers a workshop on using double-fan adhesive binding to create recycled paper notepads for the CJH and Partner staff. We use discarded one-side printed paper to make perfect bound notebooks. The workshop begins by cutting down the scraps to appropriate size and finishes with gluing. Once the glue is dry, the notepads are ready. Attendees usually walk away with multiple notebooks!
Instructors: Lyudmyla Bua and Katherine Fanning
Methodology for Photographic Process Identification
The Werner J. and Gisella Levi Cahnman Preservation Laboratory offered a workshop on identifying photographic print processes for the CJH and Partner staff in June 2018. We watched a video entitled “A Methodology for Process Identification” created by the Image Permanence Institute, while at the same time studying historical photo samples under 2 different types of light, as well as, magnification and then we compared the samples with online Graphics Atlas Graphics Atlas tools and print publications. Afterwards, participants completed a photo ID quiz with the winning team getting their own copy of Mary Lynn Ritzenthaler & Diane Vogt-O’Connor’s “Photographs: Archival Care and Management.”
