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 assist the other.  This workshop addresses
the need of paper conservators with a basic knowledge about book
structures and their typical damage to build up a basic repertoire
of book conservation techniques.  This will allow them to help
stabilise book collections and/ or to better assess damage and
organise their repair.  It will also allow to better identify iconic
bound material with damage, which will have to be addressed by
professional accredited book conservators.
