At Special Collections,
our job is to preserve the past. Whether manuscripts, maps, or rare books,
our talented staff is trained to care for damaged items.
Slava Polishchuk, our book conservator, has an advanced degree from
the Moscow Higher Art Industrial College where he studied fine art preservation.
Currently studying for his Masters in Art at Brooklyn College, Slava is
a valuable member of our staff. He meticulous repairs and re-houses
both the rare books in Special Collections as well as items from the general
collection that are too fragile to be sent to a commercial binder.
This site is an introduction to the vital work that Slava performs for
the Brooklyn College community – saving our books for future generations.
