Connick Window Current Conservation Efforts
Concurrent with our Princeton tour, which took place on November 17, 2011, we have taken the opportunity to assist the Fine Arts Department at the Boston Public Library ("BPL") to conserve Princeton related materials in its Connick Collection. This program of conservation, entailing many hours of highly skilled and meticulous work, is now complete! The Connick Foundation is grateful for the many donations that funded the restoration and conservation of the following important Princeton-related items in the BPL's collection.
The Foundation has had high quality photographs of the materials made, which you can see below. We are making these(unmarked) photos available as 18x12 posters, suitable for framing. They may be purchased for $20.00 each, and proceeds from these sales will be used to conserve additional Connick materials held at the Boston Public Library Fine Arts Department.
