Conservation: Together at Home
The Icon webinar series, Conservation: Together at Home, has provided a sense of community and continued professionalism for conservators and interested others during the on-going Covid-19 pandemic.
The Book & Paper Group Committee was proactive in establishing the series within just two weeks of the initial shut down-Andrew Honey presented the first lecture on Thursday 26th March. Since then, the programme has offered structure and a sense of normality in an otherwise constantly shifting existence.
I was delighted to present a paper on Chester Beatty manuscript Is 1404, a huge Umayyad Qur'an, as part of the series. This is an adapted version of the paper I first presented at the Care and Conservation of Manuscripts 17 Seminar in Copenhagen, which will hopefully soon be published in the Museum Tusculanum Press proceedings.
