While a fellow at The Conservation Center, Emily took conservation treatment courses on both books and works of art on paper. Her advanced treatment courses as well as her internships focused on the conservation of bound materials. During her time at the MIT Libraries Conservation Laboratory, Emily learned the historic art of letterlocking and thus has knowledge of the proper handling, storage, and treatment of locked letters, which are both two- and three- dimensional.
