The Facilities Management Department (FMD) is responsible for the maintenance, repair and minor alteration of the campus facilities. FMD employees are ready to respond to urgent or specialized needs, and provide valuable service for basic maintenance and repair programs. They are also able to provide timely and flexible renovation services of moderate scope. FMD has also been known as Facilities Planning and Management.
Collection contains material pertaining to the operations of the Facilities Management Department (FMD) including 1990/1991 annual report, committee minutes, and a current replacement audit value (1991). However, the main subject present in the collection is the restoration of the Duke Chapel stained glass windows. Each restored window contains a condition report by Dieter Goldkuhle and color slides of the conservation. Rubbings have also been made of the Chapel windows and they are housed in the vault. Also present is a volume with text and photographs that document the Chapel Crypt opening and closing guide in preparation for Terry Sanford's internment. Materials in the collection date from 1990-ongoing.
These are searchable subject entries for this collection. Performing a search on these subjects in the Duke University Libraries online catalog will bring up other related research materials.
Chapel window rubbings are stored separately in the library stacks. A zip drive containing jpeg images of the restoration of window #212 and #223 were separated and the images were downloaded onto the digital server.
