The use of gentle humidification allows paper fibers to relax so they can be safely unrolled and manipulated to remove folds and creases. Flattening occurs when the humidified object is dried under tension or restraint. The drying technique presented in this workshop is one that is frequently used by conservators and preservation professionals and requires minimal setup.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'><b>Presenter:</b><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'>Kathy Lechuga<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'>Book Conservator<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto'>The Indiana Historical Society<span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b>Cost:</b> $35 for OPC members, $50 for non-members (includes lunch and parking)<span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b>Registration Information:</b> <a href="http://opc.wildapricot.org/events" target="_blank">http://opc.wildapricot.org/events</a><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>This event will take place at the Preservation Lab of the Langsam Library of the University of Cincinnati from 10 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Friday, May 9th.
