Scaleboard lecture
Thursday, April 26
6:00pm - 8:00pm
Register
Instructor: Julia Miller
Free event
Drawing from her study of 350 scaleboard bindings in library collections, Julia Miller explores the variety of structural elements and material combinations used on American imprints bound in scaleboard.
Scaleboard, also known as scabbard, is thin wood that was used for bindings in Europe and Britain until around 1600 (and much less so thereafter). The material was incorporated into American bindings as early as the 1680s (and probably earlier) and was used through the 1840s. Scaleboard was used in place of paste or pulpboard long after those materials were widely available in America and Boston is considered the center of early scaleboard/scabbard use based on the number of Boston imprints that survive in scaleboard bindings. Through her research and presentations, Julia aims to increase awareness of these bindings and increase the identification and description of these bindings in research collection cataloguing."

Water in Paper workshop

Water in Paper, Conservation Principles workshop

7-8 June 2012, at London Metropolitan Archives
Lecturers: Doris Müller-Hess, Hildegard Homburger
Paper mainly contains cellulose, which has the ability to absorb and desorb water. The interaction between cellulose and water influences the behaviour of the paper.  During paper production the choice of fibre material, the degree of beating and the method of drying defines the characteristics of the paper and its ability to absorb and desorb water.  During conservation treatment water is introduced into paper and removed again. In this process chemical and physical changes in the micro and macro structures of the paper are taking place.
With the aid of the didactical material compiled by Irene Brückle and Gerhard Banik in their project ”Water and Paper”, the principles of the interaction of cellulose and water and the resulting behaviour of paper in contact with water will be explained.  Various treatment methods of humidification and washing and drying techniques - their advantages and disadvantages - will be demonstrated and discussed. The gained understanding of the principles will help to evaluate the chosen methods.
Participants: max. 16
Language: English
Course fee:  £400

L’Unione Artistico e Tradizionale della CNA di Genova, grazie al contributo della Camera di Commercio e Artigianato, all’impegno del Presidente Fabio Ceccarelli e alla direzione scientifica di Ugo Buonasorte, Coordinatore del Settore Restauro, ha organizzato anche quest’anno un ricco programma di eventi da sabato 14 a venerdì 20 aprile prossimo.

Carte e Pergamene

Documenti d'Archivio - Manufatti cartacei Membranacei - Memorie Fotografiche

Genova 14 - 20 Aprile 2012

Il tema centrale è quello della carta e del restauro di antichi documenti e opere d’arte di cui il territorio ligure è ricchissimo.

Come potete vedere dal programma allegato, le occasioni di aggiornamento ed arricchimento culturale sono diverse, alcune più specialistiche altre più divulgative, pur mantenendo un approccio altamente scientifico.

Vi preghiamo, qualora siate interessati, a prenotare i diversi eventi, in particolare quello del 17 aprile, dedicato alla visita al Museo Carta Mele e alla Fondazione Ansaldo, che prevede un numero chiuso di partecipanti.

1091 Project: Making Enclosures

by BETH DOYLE on MARCH 16, 2012 · 2 COMMENTS

This month the 1091 project is all about enclosures. Boxes. Wrappers. Tuxedos. Clams. You name it, we make it. In fact, last fiscal year we fitted or made over 8,500 enclosures. We love boxes so much we created Boxing Day, which has grown to two days a month.

I’ve written before about why we create enclosures for our materials. In short it is to protect books from abrasion, dust and light exposure. We also make boxes for artifacts from the collections so that they can safely be put onto a shelf. Most recently these have included a gravestone, death mask, and a teeny tiny Thai Village.

We choose the style of enclosure based on the condition, size, and weight of the object as well as how and how often it is used. Below are the common enclosures we make, listed from the minimum to maximum amount of protection they provide.

CoLibri Book Jacket

We primarily use these polyethylene book jackets for our New & Noteworthy, Duke Authors and Lilly Current Literature books.  CoLibri covers make it possible to save publisher’s dust jackets, which often contain unique information such as author biographies and cover art . These take about 3-5 minutes to make.

Envelope (buffered paper or Tyvek)

Envelopes provide a minimum of protection for fragile items such as pamphlets. They are inexpensive, easy and quick. For very thin items we will add a stiffener made of a piece of blue-corrugated board or blue-white board.

If the item is very brittle, we will add a folded piece of card stock (folded at the bottom edge) to act as a sling to help get the item out safely. An envelope only takes a couple of minutes to fit and label.

Four flap (aka Tuxedo or Tux box)

These are made of 10 or 20 point buffered card stock and are best for small, lightweight items that are between 1/4″ and 1″ thick. They provide protection from light and abrasion and are good for brittle materials or for books with loose boards.

These take on average 10 minutes to make and these (as are the following boxes) are custom cut and folded to fit the book’s exact dimensions.

Mylar Spine Four Flap (aka “peekaboo box”)

Not knowing if an item is inside is a common complaint about boxing books. A good solution is this one, a variation on the traditional four flap but with a polyester spine. While they do tend to have a bit of a gap at the head and tail, they do allow you to seethe contents. These boxes obviously do not provide protection from light  so they are best for locations that are kept dark except when in use. These take about 10-15 minutes to make.

Phase Box

Phase boxes, also called “button and string boxes” are perfect for items that need to be restrained to keep them flat. We put vellum-bound materials in these sorts of boxes to keep them from warping. These average 15 minutes to make.

Drop Spine Box (aka Clam Shell)

We make these from buffered corrugated board (also called blue clams or “pizza boxes”; bottom of photo) or we make them from binders board and cover them in book cloth (also called “cloth clam”; top of photo).

These provide the most protection for the books inside. They are good for larger, heavier items and for special bindings (e.g. metal clasps, embroidered bindings, etc.). The corrugated boxes take about 15 minutes to make. Depending on their size or complexity the cloth clams can take 90 minutes or more.

Notice the “Return to Conservation after use” sticker on the blue clam. We started putting these on items that we get from Technical Services prior to shelving. This has been a very successful workflow and allows us to provide a box for newly acquired, fragile items while deferring their treatment until they are used. So far we have gotten several back. It’s nice to see patrons using new books in the collection.

Pre-made Boxes

We also use a lot of pre-made boxes especially for standard sized manuscript collections or brittle, bound newspapers. Sometimes we need to customize a standard box because the item inside may be a little too small to fit exactly and we don’t want it “swimming” around in the box. In this image, a standard box is given a custom-cut blue-corrugated board insert to keep the brittle newspaper from moving around in the box as it is transported. The papyri rehousing project is a good example of a hybrid project that combines commercially available boxes with custom inserts.

Creating enclosures is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Very often you find yourself having to bring all your skills and experience to a project in order to create something to fit the project’s unique needs.

You can see more interesting boxing projects on our Flickr page. Let’s go over to Parks Library Preservation to see what kind of enclosures they create for their collections.
