Conservation Portfolio
This has links to PDF files which describe some of the different types of conservation work we do at the Wallace Conservation Lab, as well as other treatment options we do not regularly perform. All are treatments on books I have done myself. Some, such as the exposed spine pamphlet and tyvek four-flap enclosure, are structures I have created.
Pictures of recent treatments can be found on my Picasa online album. Recent additions include a 19th century cloth binding restoration and a limp vellum binding (both books were disbound and had their pages washed). There are alos pictures of the books I conserved during my recent American Academy of Bookbinding workshops.
