Diary of Moses Stacey v.1, Before Treatment, Recto
Moses Stacey was an officer during the Revolutionary War. The three volumes of his diary were bound by hand, two with limp marbled paper covers and one with brown paper. The three volumes were in fair condition, with minor tears and losses.
​
Treatment Overview
-
All three volumes were surface cleaned with cosmetic sponges and a soft brush to reduce loose surface grime.
-
Vulnerable tears and losses were repaired with toned mulberry paper and a mixture of wheat starch paste and methyl cellulose.
-
Sewing for the third volume was reinforced with acrylic toned linen thread to mimic the original sewing.
-
A four flap enclosure was constructed for the three volumes and retained sewing thread. The enclosed material was housed in a handmade clamshell box.
