How do you display a folded book? Made from folded bark with two wooden covers, broken bark was reattached, and tears reinforced. Conservators made a custom cradle to support the concertina structure. See the Batak manuscript in the Collections Gallery from Thursday 15 May.

This week in Imaging we begin our collaborative project with collection care on the Pierre Desceliers’ 1546 Mappemonde. Here you can see a snippet of the journey the Mappemonde had to take to get to the studio and its resting place for the next few days.

I saw a motivational quote this morning that said, “What are you waiting for? Make the change TODAY!” No thank you, I shall wait until January like a normal person and then make the change (probably around the 3rd of Jan) and I shall keep the change going for approximately two weeks before gently slipping back to how I was before ☺️
