It is so important to understand preservation as an active process, not a passive one. Even for the materials in my period, preservation means keeping the AC running, patching the leaks, squashing the bugs—it all starts to decay as soon as you let those systems lapse. And we’ve spent the last 150 years finding ever more fragile, demanding ways to store our culture.
