At the American Academy in Rome, I will refine, supplement, and build upon research I began on a collection of northeastern Italian medieval and early modern monastic legal and accounting documents and bindings at the Vatican Secret Archives. This project will contribute to an understudied area for comparison with nonarchival structures that are well studied and documented. The information gathered from my research will contribute to conservators’ understanding of physical nuances of the unusual structures and provide a support for more historically informed treatment decisions.
