Two images showing aspects of book and paper conservation. The first shows a white leather binding being stitched and the second showing a page with writing on it, with areas of loss. Fingers are holding tweezers which are in turn holding a fragment of the manuscript by the page, in the location from which it has become detached.
JOB KLAXON! A great opportunity to lead the exciting new MPhil Books and Archival Materials Conservation programme at the Kelvin Centre @uofglasgow.bsky.social which also offers MPhil Textile Conservation.

image showing conservator Kiera Knightly, Glasgow University, being mentored by experienced conservator in project to conserve the 16th C MS Hunter 242 Historia de Tlaxcala.
Image showing a conservation student surface-cleaning a page from the Jackson collection at the Society of Antiquaries. Seven students benefited from paid summer placements on this project.
Many of the projects we fund have a training element (e.g. internship, student placement etc) not mandatory but great if feasible as it increases the benefit of our grant AND benefits the conservation profession.

An early Christmas present for Salisbury Cathedral!
