Abstract:

Tryon Palace Conservator Richard Baker describes what he and thirteen volunteers do to monitor and preserve an impressive collection of artifacts found throughout the museums and grounds comprising the Tryon Palace Historic Site complex. The complex has maintained a conservation department for over 30 years now. A recent project involving restoration of a chandelier in the Stanly house, damaged during Hurricane Florence, required a team of five staff, an intern and seven volunteers.
