American Indian cultural objects, like most objects, deteriorate
over time. Precious and irreplaceable pieces of a people's heritage
can turn to dust, either slowly or rapidly, depending upon their
composition and the ways in which they are stored and handled.
Caring for American Indian Objects: A Practical and Cultural Guide
offers invaluable information and advice to anyone who wants to
preserve these objects. Twenty-one contributors, fourteen of whom
are American Indians, discuss general aspects of museum care,
explain techniques for particular materials, and address important
cultural considerations. This practical guide, with over 100 color
and black-and-white photos, offers Indian and non-Indian
caregivers, conservators, and collectors helpful information on
standard museum practice to aid them in making decisions to slow
deterioration. "An excellent and valuable book that will be useful
to students, conservators, and tribal museum staff. It will make a
great textbook as well as reference book." -- Dr. Andrew Gulliford,
Director, Center of Southwest Studies, Fort Lewis College
