1602 Geneva Bible
This Bible had already undergone an interesting and unfortunate repair,
perhaps around 150 years ago.
United States Compendium, 1890s
This book required sections to be rebuilt and resewn
as well as a new toned spine piece.
Bible, 1920s
This Bible was an heirloom that needed a new cover.
I inset the original cover which was embossed with her mother's name.
Manuscript, early 1800s
One of the most challenging aspects of modern conservation is the removal of pressure sensitive tape.
First the plastic carrier is removed, then the adhesive itself.
pen & ink schematic, ca.1900
This oversize drawing had to be surface cleaned before it could be mended.
Hymnal, 1890s
This repair required stabilizing the end bands for reuse. The text block also contained cellulose-carrier tape with water soluble adhesive, which is much easier to remove than modern tape.
