Abstract
Twenty-three Lord collection books from the Buffalo History Museum were surveyed for comprehensive conservation records. Documentation, housing, and conservation to prepare the books for use as a reference collection were carried out. These needs were addressed through a survey, including photographic documentation and database creation; and a phased conservation plan, including improved storage in custom enclosures and limited treatment. The potential of the collection as a resource for study is demonstrated through graphs and a table of feature comparisons.
