We are delighted to announce that the latest issue of Studies in Conservation features research from conservators at the Oxford Conservation Consortium – now out in print!
The article presents findings on the strength and durability of cotton and linen woven fabrics typically used in conservation. It derives from a collaborative project, discussed in an earlier blog post, between the Oxford Conservation Consortium and Bodleian Libraries Conservation and Collection Care, with materials scientists from Cranfield University. So congratulations to the authors, especially our own Celia Bockmuehl and Nikki Tomkins!
You can read the full article here online, or contact the Chantry Librarian for information about our scanning service.
