Subject: Scores and sheet music
We have inherited a collection of music scores and sheet music from our Performing Arts Department and are in the process of incorporating this material into the general collection of the main library. We have some concerns about putting the miniature scores on the shelves without some protection since many of them are one-signature Kalmas study scores where the highly acidic cover has either separated from the text block, or has worn thin with use. We also have sheet music which we would like to make available in the stacks since we do not have an appropriate secured area for it. Has anyone had any experience with providing protective enclosures, binders, etc. for this type of material which would allow them to be used by music students but not damage the material? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thanks. *** Conservation DistList Instance 5:21 Distributed: Sunday, September 29, 1991 Message Id: cdl-5-21-006 ***Received on Friday, 27 September, 1991
