You may have noticed a new link in our Stuff We Like section to the National Park Service's Conserv O Gram. This is not a newsletter about trees. I swear.
Conserv O Gram is actually a series of pamphlets about preserving and caring for museum collections of all kinds. However, the information is also really helpful for anyone who wants to take care of their personal heirlooms and treasures, everything from photographs to old quilts. And for you hoarders, there's information to help make your stacks and stacks of newspapers last as long as possible...
If the Conserv O Grams are a little overwhelming, you may want to start by browsing the AIC's Caring for your Treasures website, which is also listed in Stuff We Like. This website is geared specifically towards the layman. If anything is confusing about the information at either of these sites, feel free to ask questions in the comments section below. We always check them (even though they're usually empty... lame). Remember, conservation is the subject we supposedly know about and we might actually have correct answers for you!
