A customer came in with 5 of his prints, 4 of them in very good shape but one is torn on the edges and quite discolored. One tear goes slightly into the print area, I assume after reading about him that this paper may not have been sized. Some of these are quite valuable and even though these are not signed they came through related family members and we are going to treat archively. I need to know if a conservator will be able to do anything with the torn one.

Rebecca or Hugh do you have anyone you would recommend in Minnesota? When I do a search I seem to always get museums etc. and lists of people but not an actually advertised restorer. Any help appreciated.
 
In Minnesota? One of my very favorite people is a paper conservator there! I'm not sure how she'd feel about having her name on a BB, so I'll e-mail her name and # to you.
