I'm not sure this came through this morning! From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [pestlist] Cleaning of White Bird Feathers Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:02:57 -0700
Hi Tina, In case you have access to a good library, I heartily recommend the book Fur Trade Legacy (2005) Margot Brunn and Jim Burns, eds., Canadian Association for Conservation of Cultural Property, where there are excellent papers on feather cleaning methods. I am also attaching an ICOM-CC Ethno Group Newsletter with a really well illustrated article by Nancy Fonicello on feather cleaning. By the way, UCLA Conservation and the Getty Conservation Institute are collaborating on a study about color changes in undyed featherwork, due either to light exposure, solvent contact, mechanical contact, or other phenomena. Anyone reading this list who has observed reactions such as those described---or the opposite i.e. surprisingly excellent retention of color!---please do send me a note!
