#TodayInConservation we are re-lining a Railway Map of England & Wales. The maps surface had been abraded and therefore the paper was very soft and fragmented. We have removed the varnish and lined it on a Japanese paper support on our map wall. #PaperConsevation#Map
Our #SomethingBig item for #Archive30 is this fabulous Great seal of Elizabeth I which was spotted by the conservation team during a recent survey of some of our Leeds collections. [WYL156]
