I just had to share this beauty of a box that was made by conservation technician, Chris Voynovich, to house the Public Library’s collection of Marguerite Lloyd’s diaries. These ten diaries are part of the library’s Genealogy & Local History Department. Marguerite Lloyd was the daughter of Major Harlan Page Lloyd, the former law partner of Alphonso Taft, the father of President William Howard Taft.
Chris created this lovely cloth covered clamshell box with two removable trays that each house 5 diaries. The compartments for the two smaller diaries have a custom fill to accommodate for their smaller size. All the diaries have received a polyester jacket and the linen tabs under each volume make them easy to remove and handle.
