CWAS 470: History, Technology, and Preservation of Specialty
Papers, Archives Materials, and Ephemera
Many collections found in libraries, archives, museums and
private collections contain unique specialty papers. Specialty papers
(such as dyed, coated or tracing papers) are used for many types of
objects (including letters, maps, sketches, illustrations,
architectural drawings, posters and greeting cards). This
course is designed to familiarize professionals with the nature and
diversity of specialty papers, training participants through lectures
and laboratory demonstrations in techniques used to identify the
composition and condition of these types of collections. The
course will cover case studies about traditional and specialty papers
researched and analyzed at the Smithsonian. Information used
to appraise collections will also be discussed. The course is
intended to inform prospective caretakers and appraisers on the nature
of these materials. Instructor: Dianne van der Reyden
