Course Description
This course is a survey of the structure and deterioration of primarily paper-based materials found in
library, archives and museum collections. Conservation treatments for delaying deterioration will be
explored from the point of view of the librarian, archivist and museum collections manager. A hands-on
approach will provide students with an opportunity to analyze the condition of collection items, test
practical treatments, re-housing options, and understand the role of conservation in a preservation plan.
At the end of the course students should be able to respond to questions about book repair of circulating
collections and discuss the roles of qualified paper and book conservators in the treatment of special
library collections.
Students will perform beginning level book and paper treatments, while determining when to involve
other trained professionals. Those working in small libraries will learn to establish a sorting and mending
area for their collections.
Finally, the class will practice leadership skills by creating a public event in observance of the American
Library Association’s Annual Preservation Week Initiative in April 2013.

Course Objectives
The student will be able to:
Develop the ability to evaluate damage to paper based collections and propose manual treatments and
storage solutions.
Evaluate the environment in which collections deteriorate and propose adjustments to temperature,
humidity, housekeeping practices, and user and staff education modules.
Perform a series of basic book repair techniques and paper conservation practices, being mindful the
American Institute of Conservation national conservation code of ethics and best practices.
Write condition reports for a variety of media and participate in a group analysis of student work.
Create a library and archives portfolio of methods and samples of conservation treatments performed in
class.
Develop leadership skills through teamwork project planning, decision-making and implementation of
preservation activities (at Hamilton Library) in observance of the 4 th Annual ALA National Preservation
Week.
Research Methods
Students will practice assessments of paper collections and object media, research methods of approach,
perform, document and evaluate the proposed treatments.
Teaching Method
Lectures, class discussions, demonstrations, guest star lecturers, readings, student presentations, handson experience through practicum choices and one field trip.
Technology requirements
Students must use a computer and printer to complete written assignments. A digital camera is helpful
for treatment documentation. Ability to search online.
Textbooks
The required textbook is Preservation and Conservation for Libraries and Archives, by Nelly Balloffet,
Jenny Hille and Judith A. Reed, published by ALA, 2005. Hard copies are reserved at the UH Bookstore,

Students are expected to attend every class to proceed competently through the semester. Everyone must
follow strict safety rules in the lab. See Lab Safety & Etiquette.
Assignments & Grading
Assignments are designed to enable students to develop the vision and skills to identify the deterioration
of library materials, to explore the provenance and history of an item, and recommend appropriate
repairs or conservation treatment. Grades will be determined by points earned from a combination of
assignments, activities and class participation.
Late work will not be accepted. Assignments should be handed in at the end of class on the due date,
unless otherwise instructed.

Description of Assignments
Practicum (25 points)
Each student will spend 24 hours in the book or paper labs, working on paper and book collections with
treatment repairs or shelf preparation. Preservation department staff will be advisors for projects.
Paper Conservation Lab (Seth Irwin, Paper Conservator)
Book Conservation Lab (Deborah Dunn, Book Conservation Treatment Specialist)
Practicum hours will begin on January 30th and should be completed by March 22 nd.
Once schedules have been set with advisor, please adhere to the hours, for the convenience of all.
Written Practicum Report (10 points)

reports (if any). Note any correlation to assigned readings in 619 or 620. You may insert photo
documentation. Report should be typed, double-spaced, spell-checked and no longer than five pages. This

part of ALA’s goal to educate the public about caring for library and archival materials. This is a group
project that will be discussed in class before assigning roles. April 21 – 27, 2013.
Conservation Portfolio (15 points)
Think of this assignment as constructing a personal preservation tutorial. Begin with one-page narratives
of each class session. Include readings and handouts and samples of hands-on work. For students employed
in a library or archive, create a recommended list of supplies and tools needed to care for the collections.
Other students may create the list with personal collections in mind.
The portfolio should be neat and well organized in a clean 3-ring binder or in a portfolio of your own
construction. In your present and future work with collections, you should be able to consult this portfolio
for samples of repairs and housing. Identify portfolios with a name and contact information. Portfolios
must include a typed title page and Table of Contents. For binders, add labeled dividers. Due May 1st –
3rd.
Final exam (10 points)
At the second to last class, each student will be given items in need of assessment. Two class sessions may
be used to do a condition report and perform the work, using the knowledge and skills gathered from class
and practicum experiences. On May 1st students will present the projects to everyone. The portfolio may
be turned in on May 1st or at the end of the week on May 3rd. Detailed instructions and a template will be
shared in class.
Lab Safety & Etiquette (10 points)
This is a working lab and students need to respect all equipment, tools and materials in the room.
Do not touch existing projects, and extend courtesy toward each other at all times.
Before leaving class or practicum sessions, the lab must be cleaner than you found it.
Be very careful when handling sharp tools and equipment.
Do not use the tools for anything other than book and paper repair.
No consumption of food, sweet drinks of any kind in the department.
Water in a closed container is fine.
Additional information about the Preservation department will be shared at the first class.
Lab dress policy
Wear covered hard shoes; absolutely no slippers, open shoes of any type
Class Participation (10 points)
Participation is defined as joining discussions, completing the readings and hands-on activities, and paying
attention to lab etiquette and safety rules. Please assist each other as needed. Repeated lateness or
absences without a valid reason will reflect in the final grade.

Paper is used daily yet very few of those who use it realize its versatile
nature. It can be stiff or flexible, thick or thin, opaque or translucent,
absorbent or water resistant, enduring or transient. Paper is one of the most
simple and most beautiful materials known to man yet it is rarely fully
appreciated.

Preventive conservation is particularly important for Library collections because
they continue to be used. The five floors of the Library stacks are maintained at
65°F/45% RH to provide an environment that significantly extends the life of the
collection. Researchers use book supports and other aids to help them handle
collections safely. The librarians and conservators work together to provide
protective enclosures for damaged collections and those in need of extra
protection.
