Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens- Conservation Department
Scientific Research
Paper conservators from the Preservation Department at The Huntington Library. We use science to help us take care of art and books. We're in charge of the physical well-being of all The Huntington's library and art objects, including Octavia E. Butler's manuscripts and notes, letters by Isaac Newton, and photos from the past.
Demonstrations will focus on different ways of seeing. There will be a hands-on activity using UV fluorescence to spot forgeries/see changes/reveal the difference between plain whites.
