EXPLORING MAPS: HISTORY, FABRICATION, AND PRESERVATION
Presented by the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts
Philadelphia, PA - November 2 and 3, 2011
Cosponsored and hosted by
The Athenaeum of Philadelphia
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The great majority of maps were produced for practical use, not designed
to last. Many are oversize and have been folded or rolled for storage
over the years. Often maps were created using media that has not proven
stable with time. In each case, the practicality of the map has worked
against the likelihood of its long-term preservation and has presented
conservation challenges. Maps that remain intact today are consequently
even more valuable, not only for their aesthetic beauty but also for the
rare insight they offer into the landscapes and world views of the past.
This program will provide an overview of the history of maps and address
predominant issues in their care and preservation. Speakers will also
explore creative, innovative approaches to reinterpreting and
revitalizing historic maps through advances in preservation and
technology.
