Conservation Research in Libraries

Conservation research in libraries is a rapidly growing field.

This book places analysis within its context in conservation and provides examples of how this expensive resource can be used.

Through a series of case studies, it describes major analytical procedures, including visualization, molecular, elemental and separation techniques as well as chemical tests.

It is thus a suitable reference work for library conservators and curators. Please note: Despite careful production of our books, sometimes mistakes happen.

Unfortunately, the authorship for some chapters wasn't correct in the original publication.

Chapter 5 was written by Andrew Beeby and David Howell as co-author, chapter 6 by Kelly Domoney and David Howell as co-author, and chapter 9 is authored by Anita Quye.

This will be corrected. We apologize for the mistake.
