Welcome to the BPG Wiki's Book Conservation Wiki, compiled by members of the AIC Book and Paper Specialty Group. Its primary purpose is to become a practical guide to techniques, treatments, materials and technologies which are currently being used by book conservators. It will reflect the exciting variety of approaches people are taking-- so if you're a practicing book conservator, this is the place to talk about the particulars of the profession.

This page is maintained by BPG Publications Committee Wiki Coordinator for Books, Michelle C. Smith. If you would like to be involved in the Wiki, contact the BPG Wiki Coordinators at [email protected]. The Contributors Toolbox and Help Wanted pages contain resources and information for contributors.

Content published in the Book Conservation Wiki is not designed to substitute for the consultation of a trained book conservator. If you are considering repairing a book, it is recommended in the strongest terms to seek out a professional conservator, preferably a Professional Associate of AIC, as there are large risks associated with attempting to perform repairs yourself. Often times it leads to more complicated, expensive, and time-consuming problems down the road. To find a conservator, please visit AIC's Find A Conservator page.
