What will I learn?
You will develop a thorough understanding of how documents deteriorate and how to stop that process through preventive and interventive conservation. The course covers paper and substrate science, ethical frameworks, cleaning and stabilisation techniques, and structural repair for both single sheets and bound volumes. You will learn to write professional condition reports and treatment proposals that meet institutional standards. Training also extends to photographic materials, digitisation workflows, and emerging conservation technologies. By the end, you will be prepared to assess collections, plan treatments, and communicate your findings to curators, administrators, and researchers.
