Chevrons and Diamonds

All of the artifacts that we take in are evaluated to determine their condition and planning for ongoing care, display and storage considerations. No material is in a steady state as there are natural elements at play to accelerate biodegradation. Gloves, bats, balls, jerseys and uniforms, paper and photographs all require a plan to slow down the process and to ensure long-term stability and aesthetics.
