Along with hand binding periodicals and re-casing books for a local priory library, I worked weekends as a print finisher on the production line of a Sunday newspaper. It was at this point, I was seriously considering the offer of a well-paid position in an enormous print finishing company in Norway. Fate then intervened in the guise of a phone call from Brian Kennedy, head of school at my old college, informing me that there was a six-month position available in the Conservation Department of Trinity College Dublin. The position was to supervise a preservation team, comprised of students, that each summer, worked through the early printed books in the Long Room Library, cleaning, consolidating, and recording the volumes. It was because of my interest in hand binding that Brian Kennedy had recommended me to the head of the department, Tony Cains. ‘Once you’re in, you’re in’ Brian told me in the course of the call, adding that when I phoned Trinity I should ask for a Ray Jordan, ‘he’s a Dub like yourself, the boss can be tricky’. Later I discovered that Brian Kennedy had spent time as one of the Angeli del Fango volunteers working under Tony’s direction in Florence, after the floods of 1966. On the day of the interview, I met Ray outside the enormous oak door at the west-end of the Long Room Library building; he led me up into the attic space, the home of the Trinity’s Library Conservation Laboratory. There, I was interviewed sitting on a stool, surrounded by the staff, including Tony, who was enjoying a cigarette with his coffee. After some questions and my dry hands and red suede desert boots receiving favourable comment, Tony left for lunch. After the ‘interview’ I was taken on a grand tour of Trinity Library by Matt Hattonththt, the other member of tony's team. Totally disoriented, I eventually found myself back outside the oak door of the Library. As I stood chatting with Matt, I felt a sharp slap on the back and a heard a cheery ‘see you next week’ both delivered by a passer-by in a green waxed cotton Barbour® jacket. So began a relationship and a steep 18-year learning curve with Tony Cains and his TCD Conservation Department. Tony had also come through the apprenticeship system and was a very strong advocate of this method of learning; it was his opinion that it took ten years for a book conservator to acquire the necessary range of skills and be self-assured in decision making and with a degree of natural talent, capable of producing work to a good standard. Tony had strong views in relation to workshop practice (he never warmed to the term ‘laboratory’), in the first place, he held that the conservator should, where possible, take the work from start to finish, without delegating different procedures such as sewing or forwardi","PeriodicalId":16666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Paper Conservation","volume":"29 1","pages":"6 - 12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79345591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay focusses on the pioneering and sustained work that Tony has provided in the area of book preservation through the Long Room Project. Tony initiated this project in the 1980s to address the pressing preservation needs of the diverse collection of historical bookbindings, from the 15th-19th centuries, housed in the Old Library at Trinity College Dublin. The Long Room, which stores the books, dates from the eighteenth century and presents many preservation challenges. Tony took a systematic (and phased) approach to training teams of preservation assistants to work their way through the collections. In doing so, Tony developed several new in-situ repair techniques and learned more about the material nature of the collections. He also stressed the collaborative nature of many preservation activities. An area where all stakeholders must assume responsibility and ownership to aid in the long-term longevity of historical book collections. The essay also shows that Tony’s model was one of sustainability as the preservation project exists to this day and the collections continue to be carefully cared for.","PeriodicalId":16666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Paper Conservation","volume":"56 1","pages":"91 - 96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74919727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All the books are examined to determine a possible cause for this deformation. Both external causes, such as water damage, as well as internal factors and problems caused by their construction will be considered. To aid the search for a possible explanation for the deformation, a reconstruction was made of the bookblock to see how the pages move in relation to each other and to the bookblock as a whole. The reconstruction also illustrates how the addition of samples on the pages inhibits the movement of the pages and how they fall into place when the book is closed. The spatial distribution of the samples on the page, and the empty space this leaves between samples and pages, appears to cause problems in the bookblock.","PeriodicalId":16666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Paper Conservation","volume":"84 1","pages":"120 - 130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89026214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty one titles from 1832 to 1991 were sampled from a dissertation collection and four sets sent to mass deacidification plants, while one set was untreated. In 2019, 155 paper samples were analysed for alkaline reserve and pH (cold extract) to compare the performance of treated books with untreated ones. Twenty samples were analysed for degree of polymerization by viscosity average. User experience has also been tested, in 1996 and in 2019. Results showed higher pH and AR for treated books compared to those untreated, and a greater experienced effect for the untreated compared to the treated today. For pH and AR there were differentiations between the deacidification methods, while the results for DP showed greater complexity, pointing to the need for on-going further studies of mass deacidified books.","PeriodicalId":16666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Paper Conservation","volume":"15 1","pages":"127 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82503015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They provide an intense light in a controllable setting while eliminating negative side effects associated with other light sources. Due to their low emission of infrared radiation (IR) and lack of ultraviolet radiation (UV), they can be placed closer to the object than any other light source. This multiplies the illuminance on the paper and thereby accelerates the bleaching process. The present investigation evaluates the properties of high-performance light emitting diodes for application in light bleaching treatments of various works of art on paper. A custom-built LED bleaching device with a maximum luminous flux of 30,000 lumens was used. The case studies demonstrate the relative ease of application of the LEDs for aqueous light bleaching. The treatment results illustrate the LED’s immense potential in quickly and consistently reducing local and overall discolouration of paper.","PeriodicalId":16666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Paper Conservation","volume":"1 1","pages":"151 - 165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89274598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
