  2 0 Don't know anyone in restoration but those two plus the Henry and MOHAI probably know of someone local. Also high end frame shops like arttech. With board it's tricky the substrate is probably not archival so you can try and buffer it but you most likely won't stop it from happening. You will not be able to get the spots out completely but can probably lessen it and keep it from spreading. This may be costly, but if you want it done right (better than half assing it, if you care enough about the piece do it right but realize it will not look like new) there may be a way to replace the back of the board with archival material, but the surface is still going to be a problem. In the mean time keep it in a cool dry and dark place while you talk with whatever experts the museums you contact tell you. If it's under glass with a Matt you may want to take it out of the frame and Matt (which is probably also acidic from the wood used in most paper. If you get it restored and reframed make sure you get a 100 percent rag archival Matt) sublevelthree answered in Other Arts & Music 8 months ago | Report 3 comments by Master Gardener Andrea, sublevelthree, and Master Gardener Andrea… 0 0 I took it out of the frame and removed the glass immediately after I received it. I don't know why no one noticed it was getting spots on the glass! Anyway, thanks for the tip about getting a "100 percent rag archival Matt" after I find someone to restore it. I also agree it's better to get it done right than "half assing it." Master Gardener Andrea commented 8 months ago | Report 1 0 You might also try uw. I know they have a restoration internship thru the Henry. I've only known people who helped in photo so I don't know who tocontact but youmight try contacting the art dept sublevelthree commented 8 months ago | Report 0 0 Great suggestions.

  1 0 Lots of very good information here: http://www.seattleartresource.com/consign2.htm I know both Alice Bear and Julia Thompson and can vouch for both of them. I would recommend taking the print to both so they can inspect it and provide you with an assessment and estimate. From there pick the one you feel most comfortable with.
