The Indiana State Library was very excited to receive a grant from the Nicholas Noyes Foundation to fund a six-month conservation project to treat some of the most important 19th century wall maps in the ISL’s Indiana Division. The project conservator will work in the Indiana State Library’s Conservation Lab, under the supervision of the Staff Conservator, to stabilize and treat these rare maps. The maps selected for this project will be mid-19th century state and county varnished wall maps that are integral to the history of Indiana. For many of the maps selected, the Indiana State Library holds the last existing copy.
