November 4th is #AskAConservator Day! Conservators around the world will be answering questions about their work in the spirit of sharing knowledge and celebrating the growth of the field, and our #BKMConservation staff would love to hear from you. Our conservation lab is made up of ten conservators, four interns working across paper, painting, and object conservation as well as four Collection Management staff. Our conservators worked on approximately 840 objects and artworks this year while our Collections Management team has worked on multiple large, long-term storage/rehousing projects across all our collections.
Have a question for any of them? Look out for our post and Instagram stories on November 4th. The lab will be answering questions from 9am-5pm EST.

🛠️ #AskAConservator – Ever wondered about the tools that conservators use daily? From the classic bone folder (made of cow bone) for precise creases to the Caselli spatula for gently lifting materials, each tool serves a unique purpose. Tweezers help handle delicate mends, while small rulers and scissors ensure accuracy. Scalpels and cutting tools add the finishing touch for clean, straight cuts.

🛠️ #AskAConservator – Here’s a peek into my stash of conservation tools! From essentials like scalpel blades and bone folders to unique items like a homemade Delrin lifter, each tool plays a role in preserving history. Paper pieces serve as protective barriers, and even graphite-scribbled blotter helps detect adhesive residue! Every item here has a purpose—some still waiting for their moment.
🔊 #AskAConservator – Sound waves meet conservation! Our ultrasonic welder bonds polyester film to create protective sleeves for delicate maps and documents. Hull maps, for example, get their own sleeves, allowing them to be digitized safely and easily. Just align, secure, and with a press of the foot pedal, it’s welded! 🖤
📍 #AskAConservator – Here’s a 1960 census enumeration map of Chicago, showing every area a census taker would cover. It’s worn from heavy use, but our job is to conserve it for future digitization. By 2032, it will be accessible to all thanks to conservation efforts today!
