Preservation Assessment of Historical Chinese Artifacts
A preservation assessment of a collection of approximately 1,000 Chinese artifacts at the Center for Arts and History, including ceramics, wood, textiles, household utensils, writing implements, prayer books, and funeral objects, most of them associated with the Beuk Aie Temple, a focal point in the life of Chinese immigrants in Lewiston, Idaho, during the late 19th century.
This project will help Lewis-Clark State College (LCSC) Center for Arts and History (CAH)improve its ability to preserve and care for its humanities collection by providing a preservation assessment, with a primary focus on its historical Beuk Aie Temple Collection.
