Dear Tam,
Your conservation work in the mid 1990's for us we thought merely
focused on providing UV plastic for the Audubon prints in our collection.
Happily, we found that your efforts extended to placing 100% cotton/acid
free museum grade buffers between our acid laden mats and the print.
We were not so lucky on those prints where the original glass to
UV glass to plastic replacement was provided by [another high-end
gallery] shortly before your services were retained to complete
the exchange on the remaining prints.
We were really pleased when the prints under the Tam O'Neill
label were disassembled to check the condition of the print/paper-mat
composition. All were very well conserved and did not require us
to change any of the materials. Thanks for the cost saved; but more
importantly for the leadership demonstrated to insure the very best
materials at that time were deployed for the preservation of our
"children." We appreciate this service.
