我一直是写一个关于关于进展的博客监视器绳索but, although archaeological objects conservators are currently focused on this part of the collection, we do all sorts of other things that I thought would also be interesting to share with you.

I did not expect how many photography styles I would have to be familiar with as a museum photographer. I might have on my technical photographer hat; focused on meeting set standards to ensure precision reproduction is possible. A little later on, I might become a still-life photographer and carefully craft lighting to create a beautiful image of an artifact. That afternoon, I might have to be a documentarian and follow staff members that are doing interesting work.
If you’re familiar with my photography, you will probably know that I am typically the happiest when I’m in the studio working with lighting to create images that make our artifacts look beautiful. What can I say? I’m a bit of a control freak, and the level of control I get to exert in the studio is comforting to me. That said, every once in a while, it’s good to step out into the wide world outside my studio doors and take photos with less control.Read more
If you’ve ever read any of our blog posts about conservation, taken a lab tour, or talked to a conservator at any museum, you might have heard one of us mention “AIC” or theAmerican Institute for Conservation. AIC is a national organization with thousands of members, including conservators and other museum professionals. It is a vital way for conservators to share information. So for this blog post, we thought we’d tell you a bit about what AIC is, how it helps us inform conservation decisions at The Mariners’ Museum and Park, and what we do at the Museum to contribute to AIC.
AIC每年持有年度会议,每年通常位于不同的城市,提供保险柜不仅参加讲座,而且访问全国各地的博物馆和保护实验室。水手的保护部门致力于在年会上提出任何新的研究。(您可能已阅读我们之前在保护部门进行的独特护理。)我们在年度会议上分享我们的结果,以便其他节约设施可以从我们的研究中受益。即使实验没有产生我们希望的结果,信息也有助于在制定治疗决策时提供其他保险柜。Additionally, we often find colleagues from other museums who want to collaborate in continued research through AIC conferences.Read more
The brush was removed from the starboard gun carriage, covered in mud and hard concretion.
Although myblogsto date give a veryDahlgren-centricview of what I do, there is far more to USS监视器than just its guns. And I love having such a huge variety of objects to work on! In addition to big metal objects, we find a wide variety of organic objects, ranging from the wooden sides of the枪支车to ropepacking seals到A.wool coat. We also have a number of brushes from on board the ship, including a nearly complete bench brush that I’ve been working on!
这笔刷子最初被发现坚持到其中一个枪架,泥土和混凝土覆盖 - 腐蚀铁的硬质岩石材料。虽然刷子本身是完全有机的 - 木材和纤维 - 它如此接近枪支托架的铁,其捕获由该物体形成的混凝土。结果,它看起来不太喜欢。Read more
