Virginia N. Naudé conservation records.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/261235606

Collection includes treatment reports and photographs of many of the conservation projects which Virginia Naudé and her company Norton Art Conservation undertook on sculptures, relief panels, and other objects. Major clients were the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; the United States government, for whom she worked on a number of projects in Washington, D.C.; Amtrak's 30th Street Station in Philadelphia; plus other museums, historic institutions, and private clients. She worked on sculptures by many artists, including Thomas Eakins and William Rush. The reports usually include her assessment of the problem and the treatment rendered, plus recommendations for maintenance of the pieces. Many of the files include slides and photographs; as well, additional slides are found in Series IV. A few files deal with her work with the American Institute for Conservation (AIC), particularly her participation in the symposium which led to the publication of Guide to the Maintenance of Outdoor Sculpture.
