Workshop: Basic book conservation techniques for paper conservators 20-21 September 2018 London Metropolitan Archives, London Language: English Teacher: Sonja Schwoll, Senior Conservation Manager, The National Archives, UK.
Course content: The boundaries between book and paper conservation are very fluent. Book conservators need to cover specialist paper conservation knowledge and paper conservators often need to address mixed collections, which also contain bound material. While each specialist conservator needs to know the limitation of their skills, a fruitful exchange will allow assisting each other. This workshop addresses the need of paper conservators with a basic knowledge about book structures and their typical damages to build up a basic repertoire of book conservation techniques. This will allow them to help stabilising book collections and/or to better assess damages and organise their repair. It will also allow to better identify iconic bound material with damages, which will have to be addressed by professional accredited book conservators. Max participants: 12 Course fee: UKP 200 For further information and to register please contact: Caroline De Stefani Conservation Studio Manager London Metropolitan Archives Town Clerkâs Department 40 Northampton Road London EC1R 0HB +44 20 7332 3863 Caroline.DeStefani [at] cityoflondon__gov__uk ****** Unsubscribe by sending a message to [email protected] Searchable archives: http://cool.conservation-us.org/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/
