How terrifying! 😱 For #Halloween we're sharing #ConservationNightmare records. Sadly, not all records are preserved correctly which results in documents that are very tough to read! 😳 This is a good reminder to always practice proper records management! 👻

This tape had been used to 'fix' the spine of a rare book in our collection, William Hunter's Anatomy of the Human Gravid Uterus, 1774
Sellotape degrades over time and can become a proper #ConservationNightmare - never a #ConservationWin!

Everyday items like sellotape and sticky notes can be extremely harmful to historic items and are a #ConservationNightmare after damage has been done! Purchase one of our conservation packs to properly store your precious belongings: https://t.co/EKcmBABI8t

Our Records Assistants have unearthed what on first inspection appeared to be a Camberwell Carrot but is, in fact, a plain old #ConservationNightmare.

Bringing back this #ConservationNightmare for Halloween. Not the worst, but this volume of the 1932 Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser is very fragile, with torn pages + a ripped spine. To prevent further damage, we advise readers to view a microfilm copy instead #ExploreYourArchive

*screams in archives*
Don't coat your documents in melted plastic, it's not good for them.

A pair of woolen trousers (Yanghai Trousers), which were recently discovered in a graveyard in western China, dates back to about 3,300 years, and archaeologists believe it is the world's oldest pants.

We're sorry for the upsetting image. But this is something people need to know about. Tape, including masking tape can be very harmful for documents. Coming across something like this can be an #ConservationNightmare. Put the tape down! #ExploreYourArchive

Another #conservationnightmare resolved thanks to a grant from @TheNMCT in collaboration with our colleagues at MALD. Spread the word about @TheNMCT ‘s grants for manuscript conservation!
Our next example of a #ConservationNightmare is this map 🗺️ of Penrhyn that was miraculously repaired is once again accessible to the public at @BangorUniLib! 🤓 #ExploreYourArchive @explorearchives

For bands in the '90s, having a DIY ethos meant exactly that as the artwork for the 7" sleeve of The Delgados' third single proves. The loosely attached mixed media present a #ConservationNightmare. If only it had been kept under acid-free paper, under wraps. #ExploreYourArchive

These smashed up pieces from laptops, desktops, and hard drives once housed data leaked by Edward Snowden. How would you conserve something that was intentionally destroyed? How would you write a condition report?

When we asked our conservator Pam something for #EYAConservationNightmare, this is what she immediately sent us, we have no words...

Some real horrors today for #ExploreYourArchive theme #ConservationNightmare
Our offering is this: what happens to parchment in intense heat (clue, a bit like putting crisp packets in an oven for all you oldsters who remember doing that)

What a transformation! This #ConservationNightmare @FlintshireCC was found stuffed around a football trophy! After careful flattening, conservation treatment, and jigsaw puzzle-like reassembly, it became a #ConservationWin #ExploreYourArchive @explorearchives

We would definitely have a #ConservationNightmare if we caught someone handling documents like this in our reading room! While there's no smoking in the reading room, there's plenty of wonderful collections, check out what you can view: https://t.co/iC1QlkRKmt #ExploreYourArchive

Just when our Librarian had thought she had despatched the last one...she discovers the rubber bands have been breeding in the archives again! 😱
