The Conservation Center had the honor to work with the Maxwell Street Foundation on an amazing find - a newly discovered time capsule. The capsule was discovered while a church was being demolished; the church where the capsule was discovered was linked to a Dutch congregation near Maxwell Street. Our conservation team opened the capsule and examined the contents inside. One document, in particular, was incredibly delicate. The document was extremely brittle and underwent treatment and storage to keep it safe. Watch as Bozena Szymanski, Senior Conservator of Works on Paper carefully treats this delicate document from the past.
