We protect them, in case of works for climate channels installation, sealing with PE film and painters tape the two both external faces and the top and after that we secured every group of shelves with steel strapping machine.good luck Javier Tacn Clavan Biblioteca Histrica.

The project budget does not allow for moving the stacks during that renovation. My gut says to cover the stacks. What would you recommend? And if you've done this, do you have any tips or suggestions? Thank you Heather Adams Head of Preservation and Conservation Binghamton University Libraries LS2525 607-777-6207 2.From: Lindsey Williams Posted: Monday May 25, 2026 10:11 AM Subject: New Green Tea Episode: LA Fires 2025 National Heritage Responders' Stories Message: New Green Tea Episode Season 3 Episode 5: LA Fires 2025: National Heritage Responders' Stories <https://rss.com/podcasts/green-tea/> Our second episode of National Heritage Responders' Stories centers around the wildfires in the Los Angeles area during Jan/Feb 2025. Lindsey speaks with Dawn Jaros, Tara Kennedy, and Megan Brakob Narvey who responded in different ways. Each person approached the response from their unique skillset and background: in-person through community clinics, on the phone giving health and safety advice, and through information-sharing webinars given to the heritage community. Dawn talks about her involvement with ARLA and the impact it has had bringing LA conservators together to help the local community triage and navigate the trauma of losing their material culture. FAIC’s Climate Resilience Resources was mentioned in this episode. If you would like to learn more about these tools and how they can assist your disaster planning, listen to Season 1 Episode 10 “Introduction to the Climate Resilience Resources”. Our first episode of National Heritage Responders Stories was Season 2 Episode 11: Lahaina 2023. Unfortunately, we do expect to have this as a reoccurring segment on the podcast, as climate disasters are likely to escalate in intensity and frequency in the coming years. If you have deployed to a disaster site in the past, we would appreciate the opportunity to learn from your experience and hear your story.

Thor Minnick Posted: Monday May 25, 2026 2:53 PM Subject: Chinese silk scroll Message: Aloha to all, I am seeking someone in the San Francisco Bay area to examine and treat a several hundred years old Chinese silk scroll for a client. It is an edict from the Emperor of China to his wife's family. It has some serious water damage staining on a portion of the scroll, but other parts are undamaged. The scroll is about 12 feet long. I have been forwarded several photos that show the staining/damage. Any suggestions for a Bay area person would be appreciated? Thank you and Aloha from the Islands Sincerely, Thor Minnick ___________________ D.
