Originally there were captions explaining each image but somehow they disappeared and I was not aware of it. In this image one of the Local Records archivists is demonstrating a DIY humidification chamber used to help make pliable exceptionally stiff documents. An inch or two of tepid water is added to the larger container and the smaller container, with documents placed inside, is placed inside the larger container and left floating. The top of the larger Rubbermaid container is closed and everything is left to sit overnight. Repeat as needed. This simple and very effective technique is used here at the LVA.

Is that archivally correct, or is this just for carrying to a seminar?
