Here are just some of the colourful, repurposed boards used by JJ Morris when binding his journals. He would often cut boards off exisiting notebooks or boxes and recycle them. These lovely surprises were revealed when removing covering paper for cleaning and repair.

Volume 6 (1926-37) is the behemoth of the JJ Morris collection. 132 pages feature ephemera, leaving the journal lopsided. This unwieldy textblock needed an extra support of alum-tawed skin sewn to the spine so that the structure can flex freely and securely when handled.

As we go through these wonderful journals, there’s evidence that their maker performed some conservation himself! Old rust stains suggest that ephemera were originally fastened with a metal pin. These were later removed, and the inserts reattached with a loop of thread instead!
