This course will provide an introduction to the theory and practice of paper conservation. Topics covered will include the identification of a wide range of paper objects from documents to art on paper as well as the basics of paper conservation treatment.
(Note that this course is presented as a follow-on from the one day course ‘Preserving Paper Collections Part 1’ The courses are designed as a seamless whole with Part 1 aimed more at the management and preservation of paper-based collections with Part 2 looking more at the conservation of paper-based materials. Participants can choose one course that meets their needs, or attend both for a broader experience.)
This course gives an introduction to a broad field that has applications in libraries, archives, museums and galleries.
Anyone with an interest in the preservation of historic paper-based collections.
