[Ncpcnews-l] Intermediate Book Repair Workshop- June 6, 2008

[Fansler, Robert C.]

Intermediate Book Repair Workshop 


Sponsored by the North Carolina Preservation Consortium 

June 6, 2008 

9:30 AM - 4:30 PM 

Z. Smith Reynolds Library 
Wake Forest University 
Winston Salem, North Carolina 

 


Books are often damaged by improper handling, poor storage conditions,
book drops, vandalism, and normal wear and tear.  The manufacturing
process is also a factor in deterioration.  Proper repair techniques can
prolong the life of books and reduce replacement and rebinding costs.
Improper procedures can do more harm, and may render books unusable.
This intermediate book repair workshop will build upon skills taught in
the NCPC basic book repair workshop.  These treatments are intended for
use on books in general collections, not rare books or special
collections.  With hands-on instruction you will learn the following
skills: 

Recase a textblock in its original cover 
Attach loose signatures 
Alternative methods for end sheet replacements 
Using protective enclosures and pamphlet bindings 
Paperback reinforcement 

Designing a book repair station, workflow suggestions, and tools,
equipment, and supplies will also be discussed. 

Instructor 

Craig Fansler is the Preservation Librarian at the Z. Smith Reynolds
Library at Wake Forest University.  Mr. Fansler earned a BA in Art
History from East Carolina University, MS in Management from Troy State
University, and MLS from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
His training includes classes in bookbinding at the Appalachian Center
for Crafts at Tennessee Tech University, collections care at John
Hopkins University, and book repair at the Etherington Conservation
Center.
