"Care and Repair of Book Collections"
Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies
November 17-20, 2015

Costs $800 to register before October 20, 2015
and $850 after that

This class is a hands-on workshop for those responsible for the
care, maintenance, and repair of circulating book collections.  The
class is of particular relevance to those professionals seeking an
in-house option to outsourcing some repair and enclosure treatments
to a commercial bindery.  Topics covered in this course will include
the criteria used in decision making concerning the triage and
treatment of damaged books, an overview of the necessary equipment
and materials used in the treatment of damaged books, and an
introduction to the conservation ethics applicable to circulating
collections.  Repair treatments covered in this course will include
hinge tightening, flat paper mending, tip-ins, spine replacement,
recasing, and new casing.  The types of protective enclosures
covered in this course will include pockets, custom and manufactured
binders, wrapper-type enclosures, and cloth-covered clamshell boxes.
Participants are encouraged to bring books for analysis, treatment,
and discussion.
