This course is designed for librarians, archivists, bookbinders,
conservators, anyone else, who is interested in the topic paper.

The course is comprised of a theoretical and a practical training.
Historic raw material and traditional techniques will give the
starting topic to this course. Then paper samples are made. Thus
knowledge about paper is gained and material for comparing is
created. This step by step approach enables the participants to
understanding the material and "read" the paper with simple methods.
Sound, stiffness, mould-structure, paper structure, water marks and
so on can supply us with valuable information concerning age and
conservators decision making but also enable us to identify
exceptions in paper production. Machine-made papers and special
papers will be also dealt with in the European Paper Course; In the
Asian Paper Course available to everyone Chinese, Japanese and Thai
papers can be distinguished.

Films and a collection of samples support the oral lectures. In case
needed essential parts of the course can be translated into German,
Italian, Swedish, Chinese, Japanese, Kantonese, Russian.
