Before and after treatment.
An item by item survey was performed to assess the condition of the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society collections. Items such as these moccasins were chosen based on overall condition and storage needs. Once completed, the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society applied for and was granted a LHC Conservation grant in 2003 and 2004. All items to date have had a very similar treatment, which includes surface cleaning, stabilization of areas of loss, bead loss stabilization and new storage containers.
