protecting your stuff
There was a piece in The New York Times on June 10th re. an artist in SoHo who had two million dollars worth of her art work either destroyed or damaged by a plumbing leak in the loft above her studio.
You can't very well put 200 pieces of art work in a file cabinet or a gun safe, but it should be a warning to anyone with paper ephemera.
As a photo collector, I am reminded that only a matter of weeks after the Baseball Magazine archive was moved to be catalogued by the auction house, the basement it was stored in for decades flooded.
Paper ephemera is fragile, things can go wrong.
