Subject: Survey on degradation of artist's books
My name is Madalyn Rokisky-Ring and I am currently completing my master's degree in conservation of fine art specializing in works of art on paper at Northumbria University, Newcastle. I am currently conducting my research for my dissertation project investigating the use of commercially available adhesives in the context of artist's books as an artist's material. <URL:https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/2MSYYD6> I have put together a short survey of three questions for conservation professionals to answers pertaining to having book arts in collection or encountering them in practice. I'm especially interested about any problems caused by adhesives in the object.The information you provide will be used as a first person source in my written dissertation and contribute to the understanding of commercial adhesives as an artist's material. There is an option to leave contact information and upon the conclusion of the project you will be sent a final copy of the research that you have so generously contributed to. However, the survey may be completed anonymously as well. Submission of the survey will close July 30, 2016. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, at mrokiskyring<-at->gmail<.>com, or my supervisor Dr. Jane Colbourne <jane.colbourne<-at->northumbria<.>ac<.>uk>. Thank you for your time.
