In this video National Postal Museum Conservator Helen Young treats a paper artifact that is to be put on exhibit. The paper artifact (a broadside) had originally been pasted into an album, and it was removed from the album page by the conservator. The broadside had creases and wrinkles, and paste remained on the back. This video shows conservation procedures that are typical for washing a paper artifact.
