A preservation assessment of Pewabic Pottery's archival collection of historic photographs, drawings, blueprints, and other documents relating to the work of the Stratton studio.

Pewabic Pottery is seeking funding to support a general preservation assessment of our paper humanities collections. The Pottery would like to hire a paper conservator from Rivers Paper Conservation and Preservation Services to assess the needs of our collection and make recommendations for treatment priorities as well as for housing and storage. The overall goal of this project is improve the Pottery’s ability to preserve and care for our historical documents for generations to come.
