If you're following this blog, chances are pretty good that you enjoy old books. There are a lot of things you can do to keep them in good condition, and Shelly Smith, head of Conservation Treatment at the New York Public Library, has put together a list of Dos and Don'ts to get you started.
These tips will help you figure out what part of the house to store your books in, how to keep their bindings intact, where to get your already damaged tomes repaired, and more.
If you'd like to go more in-depth or put these techniques into practice in a more professional setting, take a look at our resource pages for Records Management, Church Librarians, and Church Historians.
