Rachel Wetzel works in the Library’s conservation lab, where she treats, assesses and preserves photos from across the Library, many of which are more than a century old. Many of these are torn, degraded, broken or otherwise damaged. They’re printed on a varity of surfaces with different chemical compositions. It’s a delicate job, as she often works on prints from the earliest days of photography.
