Cleaning an old bill from ink. This old Finnish 5 mark bill was among other things damage by ink; possibly put there by my grandmother's grandfather even possibly in 1910s. I also have these bills in good condition so I decided to give it a try. #PaperConservation #History
Our Conservation team enjoyed hosting a visit from Moriki Papers last week! We shared how we use Japanese paper in our studio and learned about the art of Japanese papermaking.

I'm not a professional. But here is a try of me restoring a yule-card that I saved from random assortment of stuff about to go to the trash. Put it to good paper, waterbased coating to stabilise and deepen the colour, pencils and temperat for touch ups. #ArtConservation #PaperConservation #Art
Making Isinglass in our paper conservation studio. Isinglass is used to consolidate parchment.
Parchment is made from treated animal skins, which is why the consolidant used is different to those more commonly used in our Paper studio for works on paper.

Paper match box cover with visible damage.
Bent back side of a wooden match box.
Cleaned match box cover fixed to a heavy white paper.
I am very comfortable at handling paper, having painted with aquarelles ~20 years. So I decided to use my experience to fix my grandmother's grandfather's match box cover collection. I cleaned it, and moved it to a heavy acid free cotton paper. #History #ConservingHistory #Art #PaperConservation

Harvard's "$27 copy" of Magna Carta is actually an original 1300 document! It was uncovered through imaging.

I watched this mesmerising video showing Beethoven's letterlocking technique! 📜✉️
Seeing the original folding + sealing methods, and history of interventions (opening, additions, repairs) gives insight into the item's journey. Each fold, repair, and alteration tells its own story! #PaperConservation

Ya estoy en tres redes sociales, y en ninguna he logrado éxito jaja
