Workshop - Intermediate Book Repair

Intermediate Book Repair, October 30-31, Dallas, TX You’ve taken Basic Book Repair, used the techniques at your library, and now it’s time for more training. Join Rebecca Elder at our Intermediate Book Repair workshop at SMU and develop your expertise with advanced techniques such as complex paper repair, spine replacement, corner repair, enclosures, sewing in loose signatures, and recasing a book in its original cover. You will also review and discuss decision-making, workflow, how to set up a repair unit, and how to identify items requiring the expertise of a conservator. Contact Klein@amigos.org for more information. The Imaging and Preservation Service is funded in part by a grant from the Division of Preservation and Access of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
