Recent DELPHI participant and Ph.D candidate in Preservation Studies at the University of Delaware, João Petisca was asked to write for the Phillips Library/Peabody Essex Museum’s blog, Conversant. In her blog post, she writes about her summer in Salem, Massachusetts as a Malamy Fellow (August-September 2016) and about how the Phillips Library materials have helped her Ph.D research.
