I have now volunteered to help conserve the ECH negative archive that is stored within the Liverpool Records Office. This work involves re-housing both Cellulose Nitrate & Acetate materials created by ECH dating from 1930's to 1960's. It will bring me into direct contact with the ECH archive.
The work adhere's to the following process:
LCC - ECH Collection Repackaging Project
- Gloves on !
- Remove item from glassine envelope and keep envelope to one side
- Complete condition report
- Brush both sides of item with soft brush if necessary
- Put item into new sleeve pocket. Sleeves may be filled with 4 prints / paper items
- Create a label stating BH number, reference and any information from glasssine envelope
- Put filled sleeves into new ring binder box
- When box is full - number the box and list the contents on the spine
- Note 'location' on documentation form
- Enter box worth of data onto database
