Key West Art & Historical Society curator Cori Convertito, Ph.D., holds a WWII era wool Navy uniform with a red medic’s cross, brought by Key West resident Robert Kaufman to Saturday’s “Trash or Treasure?” session at the Custom House Museum. From 11:00am-2:00pm, Convertito, Monroe County Public Libraries archivist Breana Sowers and architectural historian Sharon Wells advised visitors on how to preserve and document objects such as photographs and photo albums, books, artwork, documents, textiles and more. Kaufman donated the uniform, which had belonged to his mother-in-law’s brother, to The Society’s collections department.
