Two training days, run by Monika Stokowiec, were held on the 2nd and 3rd November in Penzance and Liskeard for staff and volunteers from Cornwall's museums and archives. These sessions were developed out of discussions with Jo Warburton, Cornwall's Museums Development Manager and Tamsin Mallet from the Cornish Archive Network. Both days were fully booked so we hope to run an additional day in January at Geevor Tin Mine Museum. we are most grateful to the Preservation Advisory Centre who sent us for free two boxes of Preservation leaflets for participants http://www.bl.uk/blpac/
Teacher Monika!
The programme for the day
The Penzance group measuring books for boxes and folders
This can get fiddly when you are measuring the depth of small books
The Liskeard group learning about book supports
Wrapping and tying books
Thank you everyone for your attendance!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering whether you ever ran similar sessions for people who are interested in book conservation, but are not currently employed within the sector?
Thanks.
