Conservator J . P . Brown from the Regenstein Center at the Field Museum of Natural History conducted multiband imaging on the wall and scanned the area using various light sources to form a clear image that can actually “ lift ” some of the signatures that have been lost over time . Mr . Brown is best known for his work scanning mummies at the Field Museum and Oriental Institute . Once the images are complete , The Grove will catalog names and dates on the wall for the archives and use in a future exhibit . Weather permitting , work on the project will begin in Summer 2023 . Thank you to the Grove Heritage Association for helping The Grove to conserve and protect such a valuable piece of Grove history . ▪
