A Lot Harder Than It Looks: Conservation Of A Worst Case Scenario (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Fearon. Christopher P. Morris.

Piecing together and conserving weathered timber skeletons of shipwrecks is a daunting undertaking in the best of circumstances.

In the flurry of massive multi-agency infrastructure projects undertaken to...

Marble Monument Conservation in the Emanu-el Cemetery (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Meaghan Efford. Nicole Smirl. Brittany Walker.

The Emanu-el Jewish Cemetery in Victoria, BC, Canada contains a wide array of plot sizes and monument styles. This project focuses on the marble monuments dating from 1860 to 1910, many of which are now lying flat and cemented in place because they are too fragile to stand on their own. Marble monuments were popular because of their beauty and the malleability of this type of stone. The elliptical shaped pores allows for more water and acids to enter and move into the stone, and the calcium...

A Mid-19th Century Lighter from San Francisco Bay’s Yerba Buena Cove: Context, Documentation and Conservation (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only John Schlagheck. Dave Casebolt. Eloise Warren.

In 2013, WSA recovered a well-preserved Gold Rush Era lighter from the original shore of Yerba Buena Cove. This class of boat, used to load and unload ships where there is no adequate harbor, was used extensively in San Francisco prior to the completion of sufficient deep-water wharfs in the 1860s. This paper contextualizes the use of lighters in frontier San Francisco and presents new insights into the construction of the recovered lighter gained from the creation of a 1:12 scale model. The...

The Mirador Basin: A Synthesis of Research and Conservation Programs in northern Guatemala (2015)
