The Preservation and Conservation Section of The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) would like to announce the following event: "Binding as conservation: practices, evolution, and challenges for the future"
Bookbinding is an ancient practice in libraries: it is used to protect the book, optimize its use, giving it robustness and security during consultation and handling, and at the same time contribute aesthetically to improving and embellishing it, sometimes turning it into an artistic object. But after several centuries of practice, how is it still used in libraries today? Is it still used as a form of preservation and for functional reasons? And what materials are used in bookbinding? And by whom? Who are the bookbinders today?
This webinar aims to promote the discussion of these topics by presenting the results of a questionnaire launched by IFLA's Preservation and Conservation section and with contributions from various professionals from around the world.
Moderator: Sónia Casquiço, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation – Art Library and Archives, IFLA PRESCONS Standing Committee Member (Secretary)
The webinar will take place on 1 March 2024 at 15.00 – 17.15 (CET) and is free of charge.
