All textual and plate references to the Natural History in this essay refer to the Winterthur Library’s first edition set, Winterthur, DE (hereafter Winterthur Library). WINTERTHURLIBRARY director Rebecca Parmer sat down with Catharine Dann Roeber to chat about Winterthur’s copy of theNatural History and its role in an academic research library context. Parmer shares her perspective on a collections-centric approach to the Natural History, considering its history as both collectible object and informational source, the potential it holds for inspiring new lines of interdisciplinary inquiry, and the role of collecting institutions in engaging the complex pasts of their holdings. Winterthur’s library is a leading independent research facility with world-class holdings. How do these volumes of Mark Catesby’s work fit into a collection thatmany assume focuses only on decorative arts? That’s a great question—and a familiar one! Situated as we are within the larger context of the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, we sometimes encounter the (very reasonable) assumption that the library collections’ primary aim is to support the study of the museum’s object collection, which focuses on decorative arts used and made inAmerica. There is some truth to that assumption, as the library’s collections of primary resources and secondary scholarship bring important context and insight to the museum object collections and to the study of American decorative arts broadly. But over time, the library’s collections have grown and expanded in scope to document, engage, and support the interdisciplinary study of more than four centuries of American artistic, cultural, social, and intellectual history and development in a global context. To understand the place of Catesby and his Natural History in these holdings requires a little knowledge of Winterthur Library history and how","PeriodicalId":43437,"journal":{"name":"WINTERTHUR PORTFOLIO-A JOURNAL OF AMERICAN MATERIAL CULTURE","volume":"56 1","pages":"203 - 214"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48773096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kat is an Andrew W. Mellon graduate fellow for library and archives conservation minoring in paper conservation. Library conservation includes the conservation of materials typically found in library and archival settings, including books, maps, historical documents, and photo albums. We chatted with her about how a conservator approaches natural history volumes like Catesby’s, as well as what conservation insights can bring to understanding this particular pair. As a conservation student, what is your process when approaching objects like the Catesby volumes? First of all, I want to make sure that I’m fully focused on the object before me so that I can work with intention and handle the object with care. I’m making sure that I’m prepared to handle and assess objects and that I have a safe, clean space to do so carefully. I have book cradles available to support the books when opened (fig. 1). I do not have any dangling jewelry, keys, pens, or other things that could catch on, damage, or stain the object in any way. My hands are very clean, and I move them carefully. I know there’s a misconception that conservators always use gloves when they handle books. But most of the time, clean, careful hands are better for handling paper because I then have more sensitivity to feel what I’m doing. Nitrile gloves are sometimes used, but in that case it’s to protect the person from the object, such as with handling an arsenic greenVictorian cloth binding. Or if the person is particularly","PeriodicalId":43437,"journal":{"name":"WINTERTHUR PORTFOLIO-A JOURNAL OF AMERICAN MATERIAL CULTURE","volume":"56 1","pages":"215 - 228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41725854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
