Removing historic repairs from Archbishop Flemings register in the conservation studio today. Anyone know what the annotation says in the margin?

Eight common types and consistencies hydrogels were tested for a recent treatment in conservation and agarose was best at rehydrating the early twentieth century repairs on medieval paper. Derived from red algae, agarose can be modified for a number of uses in the studio 😊🖌️📚

Programme on how hardback books are made is in the food category. Please don’t eat books, I can’t repair that crap, literally… 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Photos from when Archbishop Sweteman’s Register (1361-80) got a haircut. Repairs to one of Ireland’s oldest paper documents were made with kozo paper and wheat starch paste. #PaperConservation #Bookbinding #MedievalIreland

Fascinating piece on @rte.ie about the great conservation under way at Public Record office of Northern Ireland on (quite possibly!) the earliest paper document on the island of Ireland 🙂👓 [Image shows the expert work of Sarah Graham Head of Conservation PRONI 👇] www.rte.ie/news/2024/12...

Last document to be conserved at PRONI in 2024 for my first post here. 😊 🖌️📚
