LLART 281 - Book Repair for At Home Curators

Hone foundational skills in book conservation and then move beyond the basics. Discussion topics include conservation treatments, reasons for performing or not performing treatments, determining the best treatment options for specific damages while also considering the ethics of performing treatments. As you apply conservation techniques, participants learn about appropriate conservation materials, adhesives, and tools of the trade. Leave with a minimum of two treatments, a basic kit of conservation tools, and the skills needed to complete repairs at home.
