A Walsh University Student’s Hands-On Journey into Artifact Conservation |
|
|
Brianna Birkle never imagined that her passion for art and chemistry would lead her to testing historic artifacts for hazardous materials. But as a Walsh University junior double-majoring in Museum Studies and Visual & Performing Arts (Studio Art) with a minor in Chemistry, she found herself doing just that—collaborating with museum professionals to uncover hidden dangers in centuries-old books and objects.
Through Walsh University’s Museum Studies program, Birkle was invited to join a conservation project at the Massillon Museum, working alongside students and faculty from Lake Erie College and Aultman College of Nursing. Armed with specialized equipment on loan from Lake Erie College, she and the team carefully examined 19th- and early 20th-century artifacts using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology, searching for traces of toxic elements like mercury and arsenic. | Read More
