Esercitazione per il recupero dei beni culturali bruciati e bagnati
BIBLIOTECA CIVICA E ARCHIVI STORICI 'A. MAI'
Sabato 8 Ottobre 2011
1. Sabato 8 Ottobre 2011 dalle ore 9 alle 13 si terrà presso la Biblioteca e Archivi Storici 'A. Mai' di Bergamo una simulazione delle modalità di intervento sui beni culturali in caso di eventi calamitosi che colpiscano la sede di una biblioteca, di un archivio o di un museo.
2. Si tratta della prima esercitazione bergamasca e della quarta dimostrazione pubblica in Lombardia, dopo quella di Brescia del 2009 e le due milanesi, avvenute all'Archivio Storico Civico e Biblioteca Trivulziana sabato 8 maggio 2010 e all'Archivio di Stato sabato 2 aprile 2011.
3. L'evento, promosso dal gruppo di lavoro interistituzionale "Emergenza in biblioteche e archivi" e coordinato dalla Soprintendenza Beni Librari della Regione Lombardia con il Comune di Bergamo, coinvolge direttamente la sede e lo staff della Biblioteca Civica e Archivi Storici 'A. Mai', con il supporto dell'Ufficio Protezione Civile, dell'Ufficio Sicurezza Luoghi di Lavoro, della Polizia Locale, della Questura, della Prefettura, del 118 e dei Vigili del Fuoco di Bergamo. All'esercitazione parteciperà il gruppo comunale dei volontari di Protezione Civile del Comune di Bergamo, preparato attraverso un programma specifico di formazione e di addestramento di volontari sui beni culturali.
4. In vista di questa demo, tra maggio e settembre sono stati organizzati tre differenti percorsi formativi, rivolti al personale responsabile di istituti culturali della città (Eupolis), al personale della Biblioteca A. Mai (membri del gruppo interistituzionale "Emergenza in biblioteche e archivi" della Soprintendenza Beni Librari di Regione Lombardia) e ai volontari di Protezione Civile del Comune di Bergamo (Adalberto Biasiotti, esperto Unesco).
5. Scopo di questa esercitazione è quello di consolidare e migliorare le metodologie e gli interventi operativi già sperimentati nelle precedenti simulazioni, ponendo l'attenzione in modo particolare su tre 'focus':
a. tipologia e caratteristiche dell'istituto, con particolare attenzione alla collocazione della biblioteca nel centro storico della città e alle modalità di accesso per i volontari e i mezzi di emergenza;
b. affinamento delle tecniche di recupero e salvaguardia per le diverse tipologie dei beni culturali conservati, che spaziano dai libri alle riviste, dagli archivi alle fotografie, dai busti alle monete, dagli strumenti musicali ai quadri, dalle stampe ai manoscritti;
c. presentazione del "kit" d'emergenza, di cui dovrebbero dotarsi, in via preventiva, tutti gli istituti che conservano patrimonio culturale mobile di pari genere.

SPIEGAZIONE DELL'EVENTO
Lo scenario di evento prevede che, durante la regolare apertura della biblioteca, si azioni il rilevatore di fumo, a causa di un piccolo cortocircuito avvenuto in un magazzino posto al terzo piano dell'edificio, che provoca alcune fiammate (materiali parzialmente bruciati); la conseguente fuoriuscita di acqua dall'impianto antincendio bagna i materiali.
Dopo l'evacuazione di utenti e personale (prima la vita e dopo il patrimonio!) si attiverà la procedura di emergenza, con l'allertamento di soggetti interni ed esterni al Comune.
Quando i vigili del fuoco lo permetteranno, entrerà in azione il 118 per il recupero di un ferito all'interno del locale. Si procederà, poi, al recupero dei materiali da parte dei volontari della Protezione Civile, ai quali sarà affidato in particolare il trasferimento del materiale da salvare dalla scena del disastro al luogo di raccolta, imballaggio e primo trattamento: Piazza Vecchia che, blindatissima ai non addetti, farà da splendida cornice all'operazione. Si prevede l'allestimento di un'area triage davanti alla fontana del Contarini, dove bibliotecari, archivisti e restauratori interverranno tempestivamente sui beni, che verranno fotografati e selezionati e, a seconda dello stato in cui si trovano (asciutti, bagnati, da asciugare entro 48 ore), verranno inviati negli appositi gazebo, dove esperti del settore li tratteranno opportunamente.
Al termine delle operazioni, nella Sala Giuristi del Palazzo della Ragione, restauratori ed esperti del settore mostreranno come agire sui materiali bagnati; verrà anche presentato il kit d'emergenza 'minimo' di cui ogni istituto culturale dovrebbe dotarsi per intervenire tempestivamente in caso di emergenza.
Saranno oggetto di recupero materiali di risulta, preventivamente bagnati e bruciati, recuperati e sistemati per l'occasione in scaffalature predisposte in un locale vuoto. Data la peculiarità dell'istituto, che conserva una variata tipologia di materiali, il materiale utilizzato per la simulazione spazierà dai libri ai documenti d'archivio, dalle monete agli strumenti musicali, dai quadri ai CD.
IMPORTANTE
Si precisa che i beni culturali originali, appartenenti al prezioso patrimonio storico della Biblioteca Mai, non saranno oggetto di intervento dell'esercitazione di sabato 8 ottobre. Verranno impiegati allo scopo solo materiali di risulta recuperati e sistemati per l'occasione in scaffalature predisposte in depositi reali, ma vuoti, al fine di creare uno scenario di simulazione verosimile significativo.

(AGI) - Baghdad, 6 set. - L'Italia intensifica il suo impegno per la protezione del patrimonio culturale dell'Iraq, dove la Cooperazione italiana sta mettendo a punto gli ultimi dettagli per un programma di corsi avanzati sulla conservazione di libri, manoscritti, archivi e tavolette fittili cuneiformi.
L'iniziativa, partita nel 2012 a Erbil, nel Kurdistan iracheno, verra' guidata dall'Istituto per la conservazione e il restauro e rientra nel progetto "Assistenza tecnica per la riabilitazione e la gestione del patrimonio culturale iracheno", avviato la scorsa primavera con una copertura finanziaria di 2 milioni di euro. Il programma punta a fornire ai funzionari del board per le antichita' e il patrimonio iracheno una formazione specialistica su alcuni temi di conservazione e di restauro di materiali e monumenti archeologici. Alla fine di agosto, la task force italiana impegnata nel piano ha concluso un corso sul restauro degli avori antichi e l'ufficio consolare dell'ambasciata d'Italia a Baghdad ha premiato gli studenti migliori. Le autorita' governative locali - riferiscono fonti diplomatiche - hanno espresso soddisfazione per il progetto e confidano in ulteriori azioni nel settore scientifico e culturale. (AGI) .

Edenworkshops newsletter
Edenworkshops newsletter: "I have been feverish with activity these past few weeks. Last month I explained that I wanted to write about Longstitch binding, in fact the subject has proven very absorbing. Little has been written on the subject and I have had to conduct my own research which has been time consuming.
Named for the long stitches visible on the spine, the Longstitch binding, which involves sewing directly through the covering material, is an ancient bookbinding method that has become popular in Europe and America since the 1980’s, though it must be said that this style of binding has never died out completely."

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."

Con riferimento all'articolo apparso sul Vs. giornale in data 10.4.2011, a firma della dr. Jolanda Bufalini e recante il titolo 'La lotta infinita dei restauratori del libro licenziati per Natale' (pag. 13), rilevo quanto segue a) nell'articolo citato viene sommariamente frettolosamente ricostruita una serie di fatti e circostanze interne all'Istituto e si attribuisce alla responsabilità di questa Direzione, e quindi del MiBAC, il presunto licenziamento di alcuni, collaboratori a contratto; nell'articolo, infatti, è erroneamente asserito che l'Istituto avrebbe iniziato una 'operazione tabula rasa' e vengono confusamente riportati dati e circostanze che - sia per le espressioni usate che per le modalità di comunicazione al pubblico di fatti che possono essere quantomeno travisati - potrebbero comportare un danno ingiusto tanto per l'Istituto che per il MiBAC stesso; b) nell'articolo si asserisce che l'Istituto avrebbe agevolato, nell'affidamento di alcuni incarichi, il sig. Paolo Crisostorni e si richiede '...una maggiore distanza fra ruoli pubblici ed interessi di famiglia'; anche in questo caso la circostanza riportata non è veritiera, e si rinvia alla documentazione attestante l'attribuzione di tali incarichi sia presso la Biblioteca di Archeologia e Storia dell'Arte che presso l'Archivio di Stato di Roma
Maria Cristina Misiti
Punto a: i contratti di collaborazione sono stati interrotti prima della conclusione del progetto a cui erano legati anche gli effetti contrattuali
Punto b: nell'articolo non 'si asserisce che l'Istituto avrebbe agevolato', si solleva un problema di opportunità viste le funzioni dell'Icpal di 'consulenza, progettazione, verifica, collaudo' per i restauri che Archivi e biblioteche affidano anche a privati.

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.
