Subject: Bookbinding equipment wanted
Harvard University Library has established a new special collections conservation laboratory to carry out treatments on material in all the libraries in the Harvard system which comes within the special collection category. To do this, Elizabeth Morse (Assistant Conservator) and myself, Nicholas Pickwoad (Chief Conservator) are in the process of putting together the new lab, currently in space rented from the Massachusetts Archives until a permanent lab can be established within the University. We are looking for equipment, particularly good quality bookbinding equipment - nipping presses, standing presses, laying presses, finishing presses, sewing frames etc. If you know of, or have, redundant equipment that could be put to good use, please let us know. With thanks in advance Nicholas Pickwoad *** Conservation DistList Instance 6:35 Distributed: Thursday, January 7, 1993 Message Id: cdl-6-35-007 ***Received on Tuesday, 5 January, 1993
