CAW is currently working on a project to conserve deteriorated acetate x-rays and flouroscope images from the Korean War. By stripping the layer of gelatin emulsion away from the deteriorating acetate base, it is possible to flatten these badly distorted, cracked, and discolored images and to scan the restored image. For more information on this project, please see the article recently published in the Boston Globe.
