Title

  • Journey to the Center of the Conservation Lab

Summary

  • Conservation labs can be rather mysterious places, usually hidden away deep within the libraries and museums they serve. What goes on behind closed doors? What exactly is conservation, and what is the job of a conservator? Eclair Morton traced the path of an artifact through the conservation lab and Nina Mourat described the challenges of treating a book from a collection on permanent display.
