Due to the success of last year\u2019s \u2018Crowdsourcing Conservation\u2019 event, we are repeating the session on 19 and 20 February 2018! You can read more about last year’s event here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year, we will continue to work with the Laing collection, this time rehousing section IV. Over the two-day period we aim to rehouse 96 boxes, completing the boxing of the Laing manuscript material.<\/p>\n

Boxes from the Laing II collections, before (left) and after (right) rehousing<\/p><\/div>\n

Damage has been caused to these collections due to the current storage in vertical boxes. Folders have slumped in under-filled boxes, and caused planar distortion of the papers. Tearing and creasing has occurred due to the lack of internal protection. To solve this problem, we want to rehouse the collection in acid-free folders and boxes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Each day will consist of a training session in the morning, followed by practical work. In the afternoon, students will be joined by staff members from the CRC who will talk to them about their roles, whilst helping to carry out the conservation work. Good quality complimentary refreshments and catering will be provided throughout the day to encourage networking during break times.<\/p>\n
