Preserving Bronze Plaques & Memorial

By James R Walker

Bronze plaques and memorials are an important part of our cultural heritage. They preserve the memory of important places, events and people. Unfortunately, the effects of pollution and other environmental factors, cause them to weather and become unreadable, if not properly cared for. With a few simple supplies and some elbow grease, this how-to manual makes the process easy. Preserving bronze plaques and memorials is a perfect way for groups and individuals to serve the community and experience the fulfillment that comes from it.
