“Der Niagara”: Research, Analysis, and Treatment of a 19th-century Etching on a Strawboard Support
“Der Niagara”, an 1850’s etching of Niagara Falls on incredibly thin paper with an un-inked print address, was brought in by the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library (BECPL) for treatment in 2018 to the Garman Art Conservation Department. The print was adhered overall around the perimeter to an unstable strawboard support. Treatment was undertaken to remove the print from the strawboard, address discoloration, planar distortions, tears and losses, and rehouse the print in an appropriate enclosure. Research, visual analysis, and comparison to other copies was used to date the piece and establish it as a proof print. Multimodal imaging including RTI and reflected near-IR resolved information located in the un-inked print address including a graphite inscription and the identification of the print as a premium for the New-Yorker Criminal Zeitung. The original strawboard support was further analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), material suitability testing, and cold extraction pH testing to determine composition and the potential impact of contact with the art. Fiber analysis with PLM of the primary support and subsequent findings on the verso of the print was used to determine the fiber furnish and possible fillers. Both treatment and housing decisions were heavily influenced by the thinness of the sheet and resulted in many adjustments to the treatment plan based on the unique features of the paper
Senior’s Code of Conduct for the Telecommunications Industry
The purpose of this project is to investigate the needs of an aging population (65+) in relation to their adoption and use of telecommunications services and to use ChatGPT, Foursight CPS Model, and Design Thinking to create a working Senior’s Code of Conduct (SCoC). Through consultation with ageing users of telecommunications, their families, and the corporate team with which I work, the evidence of the vulnerability and often abuse of this segment validated the need for this project. Through the process of developing a SCoC and leveraging Design Thinking with the support of ChatGPT, I refreshed my CPS skills, embarked on a leadership initiative, and personally supported my ageing parent and parent in-laws with their telecommunications frustrations. Ultimately, the goal of the prototype (SCoC) will be reviewed, adopted, and adapted by senior management with the intent of making life easier and safer for our ageing population
