Dirt: If the item is extremely dirty, the dirt can be "erased" with an eraser sponge from the preservation kit located in the mailboxes outside of Room 420 on the 4th floor and in Putnam. If you have a lot of material that needs erasing, consult the Collections Conservator, and determine with your team lead whether a student can do the work.
583 note: If you give the Collections Conservator something from your collection to treat or rehouse, she will usually make a record of this in a 583 note in the Holdings record. Once your collection has been end-processed, make sure you add the correct box and folder numbers to the 583 so the treatment will be accurately recorded.
Specific formats often have their own preservation issues.
