Tales From the Attic

Colleen Wilson

Has your silver collection lost its lustre?
Have your photos faded?
Has the family quilt come undone?
Colleen Wilson, conservator, to the rescue!

In this entertaining and easy-to-read book, Wilson looks at the challenges of keeping our most precious household possessions in pristine condition. She examines the care and preservation of such personal treasures as clothing, video tapes, silver and gold pieces, books, art, leather shoes, carpets, and even old arms (guns, that is).

For the things in your household you want to preserve, Wilson offers suggestions and solutions to the challenges of keeping our old things looking like they should.

This book is perfect for anyone interested in keeping their prized possessions for their children's children, and those who are fans of "Conservators Corner" in the Friends of the RBCM's Discovery magazine.

Colleen Wilson is a conservator at the Royal British Columbia Museum.
