Conservator's Corner: Dacron Lining

Mellon Paper Conservation Fellow Juliet Baines will share when and how the Dacron lining technique is used at the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts to line over-sized flat paper objects. This presentation includes instructive photographs and 3D images to illustrate the technique step-by-step. Meant for conservators with basic understanding of lining paper and photographic artifacts​, there will be opportunity for questions and discussion.
