We were all waiting for Will to write this blog because he put so much effort into advocating and getting new cabinets for “Our Little Monitor” collection (shout-out to Anna Gibson Holloway and Jonathan W. White for their new book!Get it here if you haven’t yet）。但是如今，威尔的时间很少，写博客通常不会成为他的优先列表的顶部……太糟糕了，这些全新的存储柜是他的婴儿，监视器的收藏将永远感激！！
但是请坚持……为什么我们要问的新橱柜到底需要？
Hi all,
We have been doing a lot of reorganizing of the lab recently in order to make room for two new employees joining us soon: an objects conservator, who will be working on the museum’s collection (not Monitor related) and a chemist, who will be in charge of ALL the analyses we do here. This is very exciting for us on so many levels! For the current Monitor crew, a chemist position means that we will all stop spending almost half of our work time running the ion chromatograph or checking the potential of artifacts in electrolytic reduction… a chemist means sooo much more time for us all to be hands on objects. This is really outstanding and we cannot wait to pass on this work load to someone else!
感谢NOAA国家海洋保护区办公室和“ Morgan Trust”（即Marietta McNeil Morgan＆Samuel Tate Morgan，Jr。Foundation），USS中有一个新的展览案例监视器Center!
This one is celebrating the two gentlemen found in the turret during excavation in 2002. Their facial reconstructions are on display as well as their belongings, most of which were located in what would have been their pockets.
他们的大多数衣服都没有保存，这暗示着它们主要是由植物纤维（棉花，亚麻…）制成的。在埋葬期间，由于金属腐蚀，炮塔环境变得略微酸，并且只有动物纤维具有抵抗这种情况的能力（因此，保留了80％的羊毛涂层的原因）。
这是一个凄美的显示。即使是155年前，我们每个人都可以与这些男人的穿着和携带在口袋里的衣服相关联……快来亲自看！您会在大型人工制品画廊中找到这个新案例监视器Center. See you soon!!
Kate and I recently returned from the ICOM-CC Triennial Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, and had such a great and productive week that we want to share ALL of it with you! Thus a rather lengthy post for you to enjoy.
First of all, what’s ICOM-CC you ask?! Well, ICOM-CC stands for International Council of Museums –Committee for Conservation. Remember when we went to Chicago in April? ICOM-CC is the international version of AIC (American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Work, i.e. the American conservation association).
ICOM’s activities are focused on the following themes:
– professional cooperation and exchange;
– dissemination of knowledge and raising public awareness of museums;
– training of personnel;
– advancement of professional standards;
- 阐述和促进职业道德；
– preservation of heritage and combating the illicit traffic in cultural property.
您可以找到有关ICOM的更多信息这里.
This triennial conference marked the 50th anniversary of ICOM-CC which evolved from two ICOM groups and about 100 members in 1967 to21 groups2017年约有3000名成员。今年的会议接待了来自58个国家 /地区的大约1000名成员！（谈论彼此联系！！）
Kate and I (and most of us here in the lab) are members of two of those 21 groups: the WOAM group (Wet Organic Archaeological Materials) and the Metals group.
Hi everyone!
My name is Kim, and I’m an intern at The Mariners’ Museum and Park in the Batten Conservation Complex this summer. I’m currently working towards my master’s degree in archaeological conservation at Cardiff University and am completing this internship as a requirement for my degree. My specialization is primarily focused on the conservation of marine archaeological artifacts. What better place than the USS Monitor Center at The Mariners’ Museum and Park! For those of you who follow the blog, I am in good company in the lab with assistant conservators Leslie and Laurie, two other Cardiff grads. I’m looking forward to spending my summer in Newport News and working on Monitor artifacts!
我将在今年夏天从事多个项目，包括继续处理一些监视器工件：罐装炮货车的小铁件（螺柱，坚果，钥匙），右舷炮，木柄，木柄和一个混凝土的铜合金锤法兰。有关这些治疗方法的更多信息将在八月的公开演讲中提供。
In addition to these treatments, I will also work alongside the rest of the Monitor team on some of the large artifacts in the “Tank Farm” and the turret later this summer. My second week is coming to a close, and it’s been a busy couple of weeks already! I’ve been fortunate enough to help Elsa and Laurie in the Tank Farm the last two weeks, removing artifacts from the tank anddry ice blasting在恢复电解之前。
