Conservation

To prevent untold and irreparable damage being inflicted on paper, e.g. from acidic backboards, pressure sensitive taper and poor framing, Temple Bookbinders can offer 'Paper Conservation'. This is a highly technical art, calling for specialised knowledge of materials, chemistry and historical practices. Even crumbling, brittle, pieces of paper can be put back together with amazing results.

The 'Paper Conservators' are listed on the conservation register of the Conservation unit London, and are members of the institute of Paper Conservation
