  • About the Work

    This 1907 Daughters of the American Revolution certificate on vellum was severely distorted with cockling and creasing. The ripples in the material were so extreme that the seal on the upper left of the certificate had begun to come loose from the surface. By humidifying and flattening the piece and reattaching the seal, our conservators restored the certificate to an archival state.
