Conservation

The Athenaeum inaugurated a strategic program in 2012 to conserve books in the historical collections.  Each year approximately 20 volumes are selected and presented at Conservation Night where members and friends pledge their support to fund the required work.  The work is completed by professional conservators and the renewed volumes are revealed to the sponsors and the public at the following year’s Conservation Night.

To sponsor volumes, or for more information, contact:
