Connecting to Collections Care presented a recent webinar on caring for political memorabilia, such as broadsides, posters, banners, buttons, pins, bumper stickers, decals, and plaques. Many political materials are ephemeral, made out of poor-quality materials and not meant to last more than a few months. Whitney Baker discussed real-life examples of political memorabilia and solutions for their preservation. Suggested materials and supplies focused on a cost-effective and simple collections care approach.
