Understanding and caring for bookbindings

"The National Preservation Office is running its popular training day Understanding and caring for bookbindings on 27 October 2008 at the British Library, London. This training day will help librarians and archivists to understand the types of bindings in their collections, give guidance on handling and describing bindings, and on appropriate conservation techniques. There will be an opportunity to visit the conservation studios in the British Library Centre for Conservation"
