Introduction on Book Conservation 101: Home

There are three different kinds of ways to preserve books, scrapbook, and oversized materials:

• Sewn Pamphlet Binding: This method should only be used by certified professional conservators to sew book pages together for repair.
• Four-flap enclosures or "Phase Box": this is a customizable box that librarians and archivist can use for quick repairs to fragle books. This method is recommended for anyone handling fragile materials more frequently.
• Shelf files or Standard-sized pamphlets: This method is for smaller, thin books and/or pamphlets to be placed into the same four-flap method.
