FUNDAMENTALS OF BOOK REPAIR
Date: Thursday-Friday, July 30-31, 2009
Place and Time: University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, 8:30 am to 5 pm

Despite good intentions, some materials and procedures used for repairing books can shorten the useful life of an item and make it hard to open and use. Done properly, book repair is an effective preservation strategy that can extend the useful life of a collection and reduce replacement and binding costs.
This class focuses on techniques that do not require expensive equipment and supplies, and can be performed successfully after a short training period. Lectures and discussion address preservation principles, treatment decision-making, and organizing and equipping a repair unit.
