The Institute of Conservation's Book & Paper Group is delighted to present its next training opportunity, showcasing current conservation, preservation and scientific research on historic parchment. The event is generously supported by the Clare Hampson Fund and hosted by The National Archives, London, UK.
This is a re-run of an event organised in March 2016 at the Parker Library in Cambridge. Beginning with a two-day knowledge based workshop for 150 participants, contributors from the fields of heritage science and conservation will share their expertise through lectures, practical demonstrations, and discussions in which participants are invited to play an active role. The third and fourth days will consist of a practical workshop, open to 15 participants. *Programme summary * Knowledge-based workshop (2 days) 19-20 October 2017, 09:00 - 17:00 -- Final timetable to be confirmed -- Theresa Zammit Lupi Aspects of Codicology Looking at Fragments David Mills Xray microtomography: effects on parchment Angelica Bartoletti Visibilia ex invisibilus: seeing at the nanoscale to preserve cultural heritage Matthew Collins Animals in the Archives - parchment as a record of livestock and craft Jiří Vnouček Understanding parchment in medieval manuscripts: Part I – from Beast to Codex Part II – visual evaluation of parchment in medieval manuscripts Fiona Brock Radiocarbon dating of parchments Edward Cheese Conserving and rebinding medieval manuscripts in parchment Practical workshop day 1 21 October 2017, 09:00 - 17:00 Lara Artemis Introduction to the history of materials and techniques in parchment conservation Practical workshop day 2 22 October 2017, 09:00 - 17:00 Mariluz Beltran de Guevara Parchment conservation and preservation in the 21st Century *Booking information* Booking is available through Eventbrite only and there are two ticketing options available: 1.
