Dr. Baker was paper conservator at the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and she was a teacher in the Cooperstown/Buffalo graduate conservation program for 15 years. She is also a well-known researcher, instructor, and author beginning with her publication His Own Labor: The Biography of Dard Hunter (Red Hydra Press and Oak Knoll Press, 2000).
