The programme includes an analysis of Matthias Koops' book on the
History of Papermaking; an explanation of how waste paper is
recycled into premium quality newsprint, including a description of
how the staples, glue, plastic and ink is removed; a talk about life
as a paper conservator with the opportunity to bring along samples
for discussion; and an introduction to the Original Society of
Papermakers (OSP) and a re-enactment of negotiations between the

Industry.
