October, 2016 Page 4 Standards of Practice The goal of the cemetery conservator is to preserve both the substance and significance of funerary monuments. Because of the physical proximity of the visitor to the artifacts, cemetery con-servation procedures demand closer tolerances of color and tex-ture than are generally enforced in the related field of architectur-al historic preservation. They require the collaboration of the conservator and the historian/curator on ethical, technical and aesthetic considerations, especially with regard to issues of the restoration of inscriptions and decoration. In general, cemetery conservators have in the recent years, been moving toward a “conserve as found” approach, emphasiz-ing the preservation of monuments via materials and methods that are dedicated to retarding environmental processes of de-cay. “Preservation implies stabilization”. The goal of treatments and cleaning is not to return the monu-ment to a "like new" appearance, but to remove particulate soil-ing, staining and biological growth that may interfere with suc-cessful restoration. Documentation Prior to starting any work, all gravestones, tombs and other monuments to be restored were digitally recorded. A condition assessment form was prepared in April of 2016 for each monument requiring conservation, describing existing conditions and recommended treatments. Documentation was made of all conservation treatments performed, and a completed set of these documents is enclosed. Before images are included from the original condition assessment. All “after” digital images are recorded on the enclosed DVD and are identified with the markers ID number.

October, 2016 Page 5 DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENTS Resetting Tilted and Sunken Markers Earlier gravestones are typically long panels of stone that were set directly into the ground. After determination of the correct location and orientation of the stone, soil was removed to an appropriate depth. Gravel (or broken stone) is introduced to establish a stable base. The stone is made plumb and level, and set in plane with the adjacent markers. Backfilling to be done with sand and gravel, wetted and compacted. Disturbed areas replaced with the existing topsoil and turf. Since the existing conditions of these marker are typically not discovered until excavating, there can be a number of restoration variables. Breaks at, or just below grade are very common. Most of these markers will require new bases, since the success of below and near grade repair with structural adhesives is limited. Fabrication of a base may also be necessary to re-erect the upper fragment of earlier gravestones that now do not have adequate height for proper re-setting, i.e., for positioning to permit the viewing of inscription and decoration. A new below-grade base is also fabricated when an original base cannot be located, or an existing base is damaged beyond repair. E.2.1 John Brown 18th century markers often have as much below the ground as above. Only upon excavating this marker for resetting does the below grade portion becomes apparent..

October, 2016 Page 6 DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENTS Resetting into New Bases A new below-grade base was fabricated when an original base could not be located, or the existing base was damaged beyond repair. Fabrication of a base was also necessary to re-erect the upper fragment(s) of earlier gravestones that did not have adequate length for conventional re-setting. These stones were usually fractured at or near the ground level and their lower elements are missing. Bases were made on site by casting in place with concrete. The casting is generally 9 to 12 inches deep, and 6 inches greater in both thickness and width than the stone itself. The finished top surface of the base should be entirely below grade. A form for a 1 inch deep setting slot, ½ inch wider and ½ thicker than the stone, was positioned in the concrete. After the base cured, the gravestone was reset into the slot with a cement/lime-based grout as previously described. The top of the new base was covered with topsoil. Form for new below grade concrete Concrete poured, with form for setting slot in place H.7.4 Capt Robert Seldon Form removed, ready for resetting marker STONE CONSERVATION TREATMENTS Charter Street Cemetery, Salem MA MONUMENT CONSERVATION COLLABORATIVE LLC, NORFOLK, CT © 2016 All information given and recommendations made herein are based upon our research and are believed to be accurate, but no guarantee, either expressed or implied, is made with respect thereto or with respect to the infringement of any patent. October, 2016 Page 7 DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENTS Structural Adhesion All fragments were carefully cleaned and dry fitted. A thixotropic, thermosetting structural resin (A-5522, by Abatron, Kenosha, WI or equivalent) was thinly and evenly applied along the bond line only. A thixotropic adhesive is a Vaseline-like consistency which does not drip or run, and only moves with pressure. The fragments were aligned, joined with clamps, and adequately braced during curing, which was typically a period of several days depending on the temperature. Excess epoxy is trimmed off with hand tools when partially cured, usually after a day. Several factors, including weathering and previous repairs, can result in a loss of stone surface, which results in a poor 'fit' at the fracture. After curing, joints and any losses are filled with an appropriately colored cement/lime-based crack filler or restoration mortar (see “Cracks and Losses”). Clamping and bracing in a vertical position allows gravity to help position fragments. Failed adhesives, mortars and pins are carefully removed before proceeding with new conservation treatments. Mechanical removal was done with hand tools and, when required, smaller power tools.

October, 2016 Page 8 DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENTS Cracks and Losses The color and texture of all composites used to fill cracks and losses was matched to that of adjacent unsoiled stone. If necessary, composites are surface colored to match the existing surrounding areas. With this procedure, at any future time the stone might be cleaned, and all areas, patched and original, would appear similar. Fine cracks were filled with an integrally colored cement/lime-based formulation (RepliCal™ Crack Filler, a cementitious repair composite designed to match weathered surfaces). For marbles, Replical contains specially sized and graded marble aggregates. Larger areas of loss were filled with either Jahn™ M-70 Restoration Mortar. When appropriate, a pigmented, fluid, pourable pozzolanic hydraulic lime grout is used to fill large voids. (PHLc manufactured by VoidSpan) After partial curing, the fills were treated with a light acid washing with 5% acetic acid. This final treatment removes any cement or lime from the surface of the filled area and exposes the aggregates of the mix. All treated areas were thoroughly rinsed with water. For small cracks in slates a pigmented flexible industrial “crack filler” by Sto was used (see Delaminations). #H.1.1 Elizabeth Millet (before and After) with loss filled with pigmented Jahn M70 mortar Fills and patches are made to look weathered when necessary. Where lettering and inscriptions are lost, they are not replaced. In these areas the filled plane is kept slightly back from the stone surface to indicate that there is a loss. Areas where there are no inscriptions can be filled level with the original stone.

October, 2016 Page 9 DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENTS Delaminations The treatment of delaminations is designed to prevent further detachment of stone, by re-establishing cohesion between lay-ers, and preventing the penetration of water. Because slates have such extreme temperature variations, their continual expansion and contraction will eventually loosen any solid fills or grouts. Thus, most solid fills will fail within a short period of time. What appears to be a simple treatment is actually quite challenging. Recent successful treatments have been with industrial flexible fillers. All voids caused by delaminating are usually filled along the top side of the marker only. The sides are kept open to allow the escape of any water that may enter the interior. Best practice begins with the careful removal of loose debris in the voids and surface biological growth, using D-2 biological solution with nylon brushes and plastic hand tools. Open joints along the top were filled with a pigmented flexible industrial “crack filler” by Sto. Excess grout is immediately re-moved with damp sponging. Filling top cavities with a pigmented crack filler by Sto. Material can be applied by trowel or injection. Excess material is immediately wiped off with damp sponging STONE CONSERVATION TREATMENTS Charter Street Cemetery, Salem MA MONUMENT CONSERVATION COLLABORATIVE LLC, NORFOLK, CT © 2016 All information given and recommendations made herein are based upon our research and are believed to be accurate, but no guarantee, either expressed or implied, is made with respect thereto or with respect to the infringement of any patent. October, 2016 Page 10 DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENTS Table Tombs– Resetting Loose table tops have been moved by inquisitive visitors, and they also can become a hazard. Tops which are set on solid bases where there is little or no likelihood of ever having to remove the top in the future, were secured in their proper orientation using a structural adhesive (Abatron 55-22). F1.1 Fisk Tomb This loose top can be secured to the solid granite base with a structural adhesive . There is little reason for it to ever be removed. If it if likely that the tomb will be taken apart sometime in the future a pigmented pozzolanic hydraulic lime mortar (typically #600 PHLc70 by Voidspan) was used to set the ledger top. F2.2 Derby Tomb This loose top was secured to the granite block base with a soft mortar. If the granite blocks have to be reset in the future the top will be more easily detached.

October, 2016 Page 11 There are a number of tombs exhibiting typical conditions of deteriorat-ing stucco. All existing loose, failing or spalling stucco was to be removed and a bonding agent applied to all surfaces. Applications of stucco (1:1:6 with masonry sand) are applied and repeated when required. The Charter Street Cemetery retains a historical atmosphere and gen-eral cleaning of the markers is not required. Initially whitewashing the stucco box tombs was considered, but this was ruled out as they would appear too “new” and unfortunately invite graffiti. I6.1 Bradstreet Tomb .

October, 2016 Page 14 DESCRIPTION OF TREATMENTS Consolidation Consolidation replaces the natural cementing materials that have been lost or damaged by weathering, improving cohesive properties. It is intended to retard the effects of aging phenomena, increasing the service life of historic materials. Consolidation must be accomplished in depth to avoid the creation of a hardened "skin" that is likely to detach in a few years. The condition of each stone will determine whether consolidation treatment should be done; and its sequential relationship to other treatments to be undertaken. Before consolidating all loose material is removed with brushes, small trowels and low air pressure. This material would not benefit from consolidation and would prevent the treatment from reaching the more sound areas of the stone. It would also inhibit the attachment of fills or patching materials. Sandstones: The consolidation product used is a catalyzed ethyl silicate formulation (Conservare OH100, by ProSoCo, Inc.), following all manufacturer’s instructions and safety precautions. Because of the thin delaminations, most sandstone markers do not require the recommended 3 full “cycles”; one full cycle is usually sufficient. Marbles: Marbles requiring consolidation should first be treated with HCT, a hydroxilating conversion treatment (Prosoco Inc) which protects and strengthens weathered surfaces. Three saturating applications were applied where required. If necessary, marbles can be additionally consolidated with one cycle of OH100.
