American History TV visited the Smithsonian National Museum of American History Paper Conservation Lab to learn about a project to preserve the Jefferson Bible. In his retirement years Thomas Jefferson compiled his own version of the four gospels, cutting and pasting passages from six bibles in four languages. The Smithsonian acquired the bible in 1895. Discussing the bible and the conservation project were: Brent Glass, Director of the National Museum of American History, Harry Rubenstein, Museum Historian, and Janice Stagnitto Ellis, Museum paper Conservator.
