\nWe celebrated Preservation Week (a week late) with our Annual Preservation Open House, and we want to thank everyone who was able to stop by!\u00a0 This year we took a step back through time to share a brief history of the book, starting with some examples of cuneiform tablets and ending with\u00a0<\/span><\/span>a\u00a0<\/span><\/span>modern e-reader and computer technology.\u00a0 By displaying our staffs<\/span><\/span>‘<\/span><\/span>\u00a0models of book structures through time, visitors were able to take a hands-on approach to understanding how these structures were made, used, and evolved.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>This is information we use to inform the work we do in preservation every day.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\nWe were also able to show recent conservation projects, including a two-volume set of a 17<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0century German bible, which highlighted what one volume looked like before treatment and what the other looked like after treatment.\u00a0 Another item in the lab for treatment is an oversized miss<\/span>al<\/span>, which received RTI<\/a> to offer a closer look at the metalwork on the binding.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\nVisitors\u00a0<\/span>were invited to make a \u201cOne Page Wonder,\u201d which cover<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>an<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>obscenely abbreviated history of the codex.\u00a0 We hope this little book and the hands-on interaction helped spread preservation awareness and inspire a deeper love of the book!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
