Thank you everyone who participated in #AskAnArchivist day. We really enjoyed responding to your questions about our collections. Signing off til next year.


To care for baseball gloves-store them in acid-free boxes cushioned in acid free paper. Don't oil them and be sure to pad out the inside. #AskAnArchivist

What is the oldest artifact at the Hall? What is the best way to preserve gloves? #AskAnArchivist



The oldest one we have in our Digital Collections right now is a ball from the first game to charge admission in 1858. See more information about this ball at collection.baseballhall.org/PASTIME/new-yo…

The prints in our collection for photographers like Conlon and Thompson are kept in a climate controlled space. They are stored in acid free boxes/folders and individually enclosed in an acid-free enclosure and supported by an acid-free backer.

Curious to see how photography like Charles Conlon and Paul Thompson prints are stored. Thanks!



Happy #AskAnArchivist Day! Any questions about what we have, what we do, or what we're working on? (Or even what is an archivist.) Now is your chance!
