Fragments, Discovery and Creating Knowledge

About

Using state-of-the-art, non-invasive examination techniques, Preservation Research and Testing Division (PRTD) staff are collaborating with other library staff to learn more from the material/physical aspects of the Library's collections. PRTD has been taking non-invasive portable instruments to special collection reading rooms to work with curators and to add value to our collections by answering curatorial and researcher questions. Working with Marianna Stell in Rare Books and Special Collections (RBSC) we have been exploring 12th to 16th-century parchment "fragments" to expand our understanding of historic parchment and inks. Additionally, we are also looking at contemporary paper and inks as we work to better understand "at-risk" components of modern collections.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
