Reports on the restoration of three ethnographic objects made of leather or skin, all the 19th or early 20th century: a decorated Cree coat, a Caribou Eskimo atigi parka, and a Labrador Eskimo kayak. The main work was dry-cleaning, softening using a mixture of water and ethanol, filling in holes and missing parts using paper pulp, thick Japanese paper and/or a (synthetic?) foam, backing with nylon tissue, etc. Adhesives used for the different works were cellulose derivatives, polyvinyl acetate, and an acrylic. As these treatments were done over a period of eight years, they illustrate some changes in the Ethnology Laboratory's approach to certain technical aspects of the treatment of skin and semi-tanned leather artifacts. The case histories include some discussion of ethical concerns relating to these kinds of artifacts.
