<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSince 2011, Chris has grown his skills to preserve a WIDE variety of materials at the Preservation Lab. Chris has…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- matted Ronald Regan’s jelly beans<\/a> (see image below),<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- housed coins<\/a> for exhibit,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- supported double elephant folios for transport,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- boxed cased photographs<\/a>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- AND created intricate boxes<\/a> with drawers, trays and compartments for storing collections with multiple parts<\/a>, including this one<\/a> with a tree branch! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
While he brought many skills with him, such as an ability to cut oversized<\/em> mats, solder and work with metal files, his treatment skills have grown from general collections conservation to the treatment of special collections – with interests in leather, scrapbooks, and making clasps for medieval books. Treatment aside, Chris has held the esteemed title of Box-Maker Extraordinaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Known for his engineering feats, a few of Chris\u2019 masterpieces can be viewed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His positive outlook, efficiency (no one makes a box as fast as Chris!!), cartoons and dad jokes will especially be missed, but we are so happy for the new adventures that await him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
