Advanced Book Repair Workshop
Sponsored by the North Carolina Preservation Consortium
Etherington Conservation Services, HF Group
Browns Summit, North Carolina
Saturday, March 24, 2007
9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Outsourcing book repair may not be possible due to other demands on your
institution’s budget and could be more expensive when indirect costs of
vendor contracts, packing, shipping, and quality control are assessed.
Books shipped off site also increase the time material is unavailable for
reading, research, and exhibition. Well trained in-house staff can repair
damaged books in a cost effective, timely manner. Building on skills
learned in basic and intermediate book repair workshops participants will
learn more complex book repair techniques. The following topics will be
addressed with hands-on practice:
· Tools and equipment
· Workflow
· Adhesive properties
· Resewing
· Flat and rounded spines
· Recasing a book with a detached cover
· Making and attaching a new cover
· Repair and reinforce the text block and spine
This class is intended for collection care personnel in libraries,
archives, museums, historic sites, records centers, document depositories,
and other collection institutions as well as students and faculty in
library science, public history, and museum graduate programs. Previous
attendance at a basic and intermediate book repair class or an
apprenticeship under the supervision of a qualified book repair specialist
is required for registration. Procedures demonstrated in this class are
not intended for the repair of rare books or books in special collections.

Johnson, Associate Conservator of Rare Books, and Sally Key, Senior Rare
