One of the things I love most about working here in the Lab is that\u2019s like the proverbial shark: always moving. We\u2019re constantly learning and growing and trying new things; it\u2019s great! We do, however, reside rather off the beaten path in the library, so it often happens that unless people have to come down for a specific purpose, they never know what we\u2019re up to now.
\nEnter the annual Open House. You would think that after so many years, it would be pretty rank and file, but we\u2019ve managed to keep the fun. This year, in addition to learning a few new things about the lab’s treatment reports on the UC Libraries’\u00a0Digital Collections & Repositories site<\/a>\u00a0and the hot stamper bookmarks that everyone has come to know and love, we focused on papermaking, highlighted by the opportunity to pull a piece of their very own. \u00a0Holly and Catarina walked our guests through the process, to great (and messy) results. People love the opportunity to mix it up and put their hands in things, and I would definitely call it a success. \u00a0On top of that, our conservator, Ashleigh, displayed an array of different types of paper and plant fibers that are used to make paper, and she demonstrated and discussed the different ways in which we use paper in the lab (mends, pulps fills, etc.). It was such a good time that I\u2019m not sure how we\u2019ll top it next year. No doubt there\u2019ll be something fascinating going on. Stay tuned!
