ALA | Book Repair Basics for Libraries: Book Repair Basics for Libraries
Participants will become familiar with several types of basic repairs for bound circulating collections materials in school, public, and academic libraries. Tip-ins and basic page repairs, hinge tightening, and a variety of spine repairs will be covered. Techniques will be illustrated and demonstrated with text, images, and video. Links to other resources will be provided.
Repairs and conservation treatments on rare and special collections materials will NOT be discussed.
Who Should Attend?
Individuals with little (some preferred) book repair experience will benefit. More experienced attendees will receive helpful hints.
Course Level & Prerequisites
None
Presenters
Peter D. Verheyen is Head of Preservation and Conservation at Syracuse University. After beginning as work-study in preservation under John Dean at Johns Hopkins where he repaired and rehoused circulating collections, he studied binding and conservation in Germany and Switzerland to become a rare book conservator working in private practice and research library preservation programs. He established the conservation lab at Syracuse for the treatment of special collections materials, and developed a high-density system for storing architectural drawings. In response to a need for efficient rehousing in anticipation of off-site storage he introduced Syracuse to the shrink-wrapping of volumes. He presented Archival 101 as an ALCTS webinar during Preservation Week 2010.
Marianne Hanley is Assistant Conservator in the Department of Preservation and Conservation at Syracuse University Library. Her responsibilities include managing the repair and rehousing of our circulating collections, including the training of work-study students. In addition she is training in bookbinding and aspects of book conservation with conservators David Stokoe and Peter Verheyen. She also presents regularly on disaster preparedness as part of departmental staff training and outreach activities. Because Marianne has worked in both the public and private sectors of libraries, she is collaborating in the development of a basic book repair program that will benefit many different institutions and varying types of skill levels.

Conservators find best treatment for wedding veil from "Gone With The Wind" is no treatment | Cultural Compass
Ebbene sì meglio non restaurare, anche se non sono un fanatico di via col vento devo dire che ci sono un sacco di ragioni in quest'articolo, non ultimo concordo che i guanti delle volte sono più un impiccio che un vantaggio e che delle volte è necessario avere lìoggetto tra le mani nude.

Gone With The Wind is full of lessons about love, life, and loss. Almost 75 years later, Scarlett’s silk wedding veil has one more lesson.
“At the end of our life, it is the end of our life. We are all organic material. When a costume has come to the end of its life, it is no different than we are,” says Cara Varnell, a specialist in Hollywood film costumes and the conservator working on the Ransom Center’s five Gone With The Wind dresses.

razor blade planes: an overview « jeff peachey
razor blade planes: an overview
Posted in book conservation, book repair, bookbinding, bookbinding machines by Jeff Peachey on August 17, 2011
INTRODUCTION
There are three fundamental techniques of paring leather in bookbinding: using a paring knife, using a modified spokeshave and using a paring machine, such as the Fortuna, Schar-Fix or Brockman. Often various combinations of these methods are used. Learning how to pare leather not only requires learning the technique of using a knife or spokeshave, but also the skills of how to keep the knife or blade sharp. The Brockman or Scharf-Fix alleviates the need to learn how to sharpen, although some thrifty bookbinders do resharpen their double edge blades. These paring machines are best suited for making small, thin flat pieces of leather — generally for onlays, labels, quarter bindings — rather than achieving a long, gradual bevel necessary for rebacking or English style full leather bindings.

E' stato lo scoppio di un canale che passa all'interno di quel muro a scatenare quel sabato pomeriggio di due mesi fa a Brera l'allagamento del loggiato denunciato oggi all'Ansa da un tecnico della Uil, e documentato da foto e da un filmato. Lo rivela la soprintendente ai beni artistici di Milano, Sandrina Bandera, che sottolinea la necessità per il complesso di urgenti lavori di restauro sulle coperture. 'Piove anche sui libri della biblioteca Braidense, il nostro problema è generale'. Vera la denuncia del sindacato, conferma, 'Il canale è scoppiato e ha tracimato acqua a non finire, siamo dovuti intervenire in emergenza'. Anche se 'Lo sposalizio della Vergine' di Raffaello secondo la soprintendente 'non era in pericolo. Eravamo tranquilli. Però l'acqua si era infiltrata nella sala passando da sotto la porta, una cosa che non doveva succedere'."

The summer 2011 programme is as follows:
Week 1: July 25-29
Re-creating the Medieval Palette
This class will study the colours (made from rocks, minerals, metals, insects and plants) that were processed to produce the colours used by artists throughout the medieval era. The focus will mostly (though not exclusively) be on manuscript art (Islamic and European) and participants will re-create the colours using original recipes. Illustrated lectures, will address the history, geography, chemistry, iconography and conservation issues. Practical making and painting sessions will follow these lectures.
Course Tutor: Cheryl Porter
Week 2: August 1-5 - FULL!! Places available 8-12 August. Early enrolment is advised.
Reconstructing an early medieval Islamic Book Structure
Lectures on the early history of Islamic bookbinding by Sheila Blair and Jonathan Bloom:
The course will offer the opportunity of reconstructing a model of the so-called “box binding” – the earliest known Islamic book binding structure (8th-12th century AD). Many unique fragments of this structure are preserved – mainly in Yemen and Tunisia, and also in a number of important collections elsewhere. The binding style has until now, only been associated with the Qur’anic (Koranic) text, and no known historic treatises describe such a structure. For this reason, the reconstruction of this bookbinding is based on the published examples, and on the direct study of the Yemeni collection. Analysing different features and variations of the Yemeni fragments, participants will reconstruct one binding incorporating the most common features.
Participants will be provided with basic textblock and wooden boards, will sew the textblock to the boards, construct the endbands using one or both of the historic examples, and finally, cover the book in leather. The cover will then be tooled (decorated). The model will be constructed using traditional materials and techniques. Participants will study the history of the study of this structure, the variations in its features, the strengths and weaknesses of the structure, and discuss the origins and developments of this intriguing binding as well as some puzzling features, still unexplained. Participants will be required to bring some basic hand tools (a list will be provided following registration). All materials will be provided at nominal cost. No previous experience of bookbinding is necessary to do the class and curators and custodians of collections are welcome to apply.
Course Tutor: Marco di Bella (Assisted by John Mumford)
Week 3: August 8-12
Conservation Techniques for Islamic Binding
This workshop will provide an introduction to the specific considerations of conserving Islamic manuscript material. Through a series of focused sessions (including lectures by Dr Elaine Wright Curator of the Islamic collections at the Chester Beatty Library) and model-making, participants will examine individual components of Islamic book structures and discuss the ways they can be treated to best conserve them. Participants will examine the conservation of Islamic manuscript material – sewing and spine linings, end boards, board attachment and covering, as well as produce a model conservation structure for Islamic bindings. The result will reflect modern conservation techniques, and take account of best-suited materials and ethical considerations.
Course Tutor: Kristine Rose (Elaine Wright lecturing)
Week 4: August 15-19
Exploring the unique features of Spanish early modern account book bindings
Books created for accounting form a separate branch of the bookbinding craft, and these bindings can be found in archives and libraries all over the world. By the 16th century, a unique style of account book binding had developed in the Spanish peninsula, with elements including elaborate and colourful mozarabic or mudéjar geometric lacing as cover decoration, a substantial fore-edge flap, buttons of glass, ceramic, wood or leather, and loops of carefully twined leather.
The class will complete a 16th century account book model, based on examples featured in Spanish History of the Book texts. The case material will be parchment, the overbands tanned leather, and the lacing patterns will be done with a combination of tanned and tawed leather, with the option for cochineal-dyed tawed lacing. The binding will include button and loop closures, with a variety of button options. Some time will be spent each day examining accounting and bookkeeping history as related to book structures, with an emphasis on information from accounting instruction manuals of the time, and depictions of account books and accounting in art. We will examine conservation treatment of a stationer’s binding, and to discuss potential conservation problems and solutions. The Barbarigo Library of Montefiascone has fascinating examples of Italian stationary bindings, as well as many binding that draw on elements of the stationary binding tradition, such as paper and parchment bindings. Participants will have time to create sample cards for different button, loop, ticketing and lacing styles, in addition to the Spanish account book model.
Materials can be provided at a nominal cost and a list of hand tools required will be provided at registration. The class is designed to be fun and useful for the experienced binder/conservator and the interested but novice participant.
Course Tutor: Chela Metzger

How to Tie One Thread to Another « Making A Byzantine Codex: "How to Attach one Piece of Thread to Another April 9, 2010
When sewing the textblock a binder frequently finds him/herself without enough length of thread to complete the work. What to do? Well, the binder must attach another length of thread to the end of the previous one so that he/she can continue uninterrupted.
The images below demonstrate one popular method of doing this (I’ve had to use it a lot). I don’t know what method Byzantine binders used—the sources do not say as far as I can tell, but I imagine it was not too different."

in-situ book conservation fixture
Posted in book conservation, conservation tools and equipment, conservation treatment by Jeff Peachey on April 19, 2011
A jig guides a tool, whereas a fixture supports the workpiece – in this case is a bound book. Increasingly, much of a book conservator’s work involves working in-situ without disbinding a textblock. This fixture safely and securely supports the parts of the book not being worked on while treating pages. The idea for this fixture was originally developed by Raymond Jordan, Senior Book Conservator at Trinity College, Dublin (for an image of his version in use, see Preservation and Conservation in Small Libraries, ed. Hadgraft and Swift, 1994), with additional improvements by Chela Metzger, Conservator of Library Collections at Winterthur Museum, Delaware.

Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore - Tavola Rotonda: Presentazione
Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore - Tavola Rotonda: Presentazione: "Tavola Rotonda
Presentazione
Tavola Rotonda, 10 giugno 2010
La tavola rotonda programmata a conclusione del Convegno internazionale 'Meeting on Cultural Heritage Pests' affronterà i temi 'Diagnosi e prevenzione' e 'Attuali possibilità di difesa'. Tale occasione, promossa e realizzata dal CPBC, centro di ricerca universitario, vuole quindi essere un momento di confronto aperto e onesto sulle problematiche attuali relative alla conservazione dei beni culturali. Di conseguenza, pur essendo svincolata da specifiche esigenze commerciali, considera la realtà operativa italiana ed è rivolta agli operatori di tutto il territorio nazionale, siano questi tecnici della disinfestazione, del restauro o dirigenti di strutture preposte alla conservazione.
La tavola rotonda prenderà avvio da interventi di ricercatori che, sulla base di dati sperimentali e conoscenze scientifiche, riassumeranno lo stato dell'arte a coloro che, operando come conservatori, affrontano concretamente i problemi connessi al degrado biotico.
Di seguito è previsto un momento di dibattito tra gli intervenuti per condividere risultati, dubbi e problemi sulle fondamentali necessità del settore.
Un attestato di partecipazione verrà rilasciato a coloro che ne faranno richiesta.

Tavola Rotonda, 10 giugno 2010
La tavola rotonda programmata a conclusione del Convegno internazionale 'Meeting on Cultural Heritage Pests' affronterà i temi 'Diagnosi e prevenzione' e 'Attuali possibilità di difesa'. Tale occasione, promossa e realizzata dal CPBC, centro di ricerca universitario, vuole quindi essere un momento di confronto aperto e onesto sulle problematiche attuali relative alla conservazione dei beni culturali. Di conseguenza, pur essendo svincolata da specifiche esigenze commerciali, considera la realtà operativa italiana ed è rivolta agli operatori di tutto il territorio nazionale, siano questi tecnici della disinfestazione, del restauro o dirigenti di strutture preposte alla conservazione.
La tavola rotonda prenderà avvio da interventi di ricercatori che, sulla base di dati sperimentali e conoscenze scientifiche, riassumeranno lo stato dell'arte a coloro che, operando come conservatori, affrontano concretamente i problemi connessi al degrado biotico.
Di seguito è previsto un momento di dibattito tra gli intervenuti per condividere risultati, dubbi e problemi sulle fondamentali necessità del settore.
Un attestato di partecipazione verrà rilasciato a coloro che ne faranno richiesta.

Gel rigidi e semisolidi
Organizzato dalla Casa Editrice Il Prato
STUDIO ANALITICO DELL’APPLICAZIONE DI GEL RIGIDI E SEMI SOLIDI PER IL TRATTAMENTO DI PULITURA E VALUTAZIONE DEL BIODETERIORAMENTO NELL’AMBITO DELLA CONSERVAZIONE DI SUPPORTI CARTACEI ANTICHI
ORE 14.30 – 16.30, SALA ERMITAGE, PAD.5, PIANO TERRA
Organizzato dalla Casa Editrice Il Prato
In questa presentazione si riportano i primi risultati degli studi, in corso da alcuni anni, che prendono in considerazione alcuni di questi “nuovi” materiali e li confrontano con quelli tradizionali.
In occasione del prossimo Salone del Restauro di Ferrara, Cesmar7 presenta un intervento a più voci nell’ambito della conservazione di supporti cartacei antichi, illustrando alcune problematiche relative alla pulitura e al fenomeno del biodeterioramento. Nella prima parte saranno esposti i risultati relativi all’applicazione di gel rigidi polisaccaridici (Agar e Gellano) per il trattamento di pulitura di supporti cartacei antichi, ottenuti mediante indagini chimico-fisiche, volte alla verifica scientifica dell’idoneità dei gel nel trattamento di pulitura e della loro efficacia. Nella seconda parte si parlerà delle analisi microbiologiche che possono essere compiute sui gel utilizzati per le puliture, presentando alcuni casi studi effettuati nell’ambito del biodeterioramento di beni archivistici e librari. L’incontro terminerà presentando alcune osservazioni preliminari sull’uso del gel termoreversibile Pluoronic F127, sia nei trattamenti di pulitura, sia nelle analisi microbiologiche.

La conservazione delle carte da lucido corso di aggiornamento 7-9 aprile 2011
La conservazione delle carte da lucido
corso di aggiornamento
7-9 aprile 2011
Studio Soseishi, c.so Filippo Turati, 36 – Torino
docente: Antonio Mirabile
La ricerca della trasparenza nella carta ha radici profonde che vanno dalle carte impregnate di cera usate in Cina, già dal IX secolo, come supporto intermediario per realizzare una stampa a partire da un disegno, alle ricette di Cennino Cennini, nel Libro dell’Arte, in cui spiega come rendere trasparente una carta o una pergamena.
I risultati di queste ricerche, artigianali poi, dal 1850, industriali, prendono la forma di un supporto cartaceo conosciuto familiarmente con il nome di “carta da lucido” o piu’ semplicemente di “lucido” la cui caratteristica principale é la trasparenza parziale o la translucidità, che rende possibile il passaggio (trasmissione) della luce e delle immagini. Il lucido, generalmente usato come supporto intermediario, studio preparatorio, tappa di creazione o, piu’ raramente, come supporto definitivo di un’opera d’arte, permette di copiare, trasferire e corregge un disegno, un’idea o un progetto.
La carta da lucido é stata largamente usata da architetti, ingegneri, archeologi, geografi, gioiellieri, stilisti, artisti… che ci hanno lasciato un patrimonio culturale abbondante ed importante ma le cui condizioni di conservazione sono spesso precarie. Le ragioni di questa precarietà sono varie e vanno dallo statuto di questi documenti, spesso considerati come secondari a causa delle loro prima vocazione “utilitaria”, ai materiali constitutivi del supporto, dalla grande quantità di documenti prodotti al trattamento subito dalla cellulosa per ottenera la translucidità.
Oggi, la trasmissione e la divulgazione di questi documenti é diventata una priorità di varie istituzioni patrimoniali, questo solleva la problemática relativa allo stoccaggio, alla stabilizzazione ed alle condizioni di consultazione di questi disegni.

Employment: Research Technician (P-T), Ligatus, University of the Arts London | FMRSI
Employment: Research Technician (P-T), Ligatus, University of the Arts London | FMRSI: "Employment: Research Technician (P-T), Ligatus, University of the Arts London
Closing date: 11th March 2011
Research Technician, part time – Ligatus
Reference: 300081
Ligatus Research Unit
University of the Arts London
Position Type: Temporary – Part time
Salary: £26,017 pro rata
Closing Date: 11/03/2011
Job Overview
One year fixed term contract, 20 hours per week.
University of the Arts London is a vibrant world centre for innovation, drawing together six Colleges with international reputations in art, design, fashion, communication and performing arts and a long involvement in the book arts and book conservation.
Ligatus is one of the University’s research centres that could transform the role of object documentation in digital humanities. It is set to combine traditional bookbinding and archiving knowledge with the latest
web technologies in a whole new way, making this role unique in its field.
At the moment, there is no system in place to manage the considerable volume of data Ligatus is accumulating. As part of the team, you will help to design a new system to organise, publish and optimise Ligatus digital collections. You will then manage and maintain the system, administering the digitised data.
Highly IT literate, you can use XML technologies and administer XML data, XML native databases, relational databases and simple type data. You can also deal with image quality issues and design, code, test and correct batch data processing scripts and macro-commands for both text and images.
Articulate, organised and team-focused, you have worked on digital humanities projects before and handled text encoding. Perhaps most importantly, you have an interest in the history of material culture, plus the ideas and enthusiasm needed to get a new research centre off the ground.
This is one of the two positions currently offered by Ligatus, with the second one being a part time Research Assistant.
In return, University of the Arts London offers generous leave, a final salary pension and a commitment to your continuing personal development and training in an environment that encourages excellence, creativity
and diversity.

It is also aimed at professionals from humanitarian and cultural aid organizations, as well as military, civilian and civil defense personnel. Those with experience in conflict situations are particularly encouraged to apply. A maximum of 22 participants will be selected.
TEACHING TEAM

Collezionare santini
Ecco un articolo pieno di buon senso di un collezionista...
Conviene restaurare le immaginette?
Ho già affrontato, qualche tempo fa, l'argomento restauro delle immaginette. Ci ritorno, a seguito di alcune mail che mi sono arrivate da parte di alcuni amici collezionisti, i quali mi chiedono consigli su come restaurare le immaginette, e che resteranno probabilmente delusi, leggendo questo post.
Innanzitutto, mi preme avvertire che, non essendo un restauratore, ancor meno specializzato nel restauro di documenti, libri e/o supporti cartacei antichi, non mi sento di dare consigli a nessuno su come si esegue un restauro. So che molti s'improvvisano restauratori, attraverso interventi fai da te, che lasciano il tempo che trovano, ma personalmente sono contrario a dare “ricette” o metodi stile “fatto in casa”, che possono avere conseguenze negative sul pezzo in questione.
Detto questo, mi chiedo – e lo chiedo anche agli amici che seguono il sito – se sia veramente necessario, oltreché opportuno, restaurare i pezzi “rovinati” della nostra collezione.
