for antiques and artwork.

State Museum, Sharon Battista of S D Battista Paintings Conservation and Doug
Sanders of the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields will advise attendees on
the best methods to store and preserve their documents, photographs, maps,
textiles, paintings and small wood and metal pieces.
“Preserve Your Family Treasures” will take place in the Indiana
State Library’s History Reference Room on Monday, April 29 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
