History of the BPG Wiki
In 2009, the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation (FAIC) launched the AIC Wiki with funding assistance from the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT), a division of the National Parks Service. As part of the launch, the Paper Conservation Catalog (PCC) and the previously unpublished Book Conservation Catalog (BCC) were transcribed into wiki format. Each chapter became a page in the new Book and Paper Group (BPG) Wiki [1]. Over time, pages have been added, edited and moved. Currently, the BPG Wiki consists of the Paper Conservation Wiki, the Book Conservation Wiki, and a variety of shared content pages.
This page collects the history of both the published catalogs and the evolving wiki.

Paper Conservation Catalog (PCC)[edit | edit source]
In the absence of much published literature during the early 1980’s, a group of AIC members began a volunteer, collaborative effort to gather and exchange information about techniques and materials used by paper conservators. This effort resulted in the Paper Conservation Catalog. The PCC was published in nine editions from 1984 to 1994 by the AIC Book and Paper Group, with assistance from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The catalog was distributed to BPG members in a loose leaf format to permit additions, revisions, and updates. The format was intended to be simple and flexible enough to encourage paper conservators to contribute and allow for updates and edits to be easily made over time.
Thirty-five chapters were originally planed. A number of chapters were left blank to allow for future expansions of topics covered. Over the decade of publication, some of the proposed chapters were changed, chapters were added, chapters were deleted, chapters were revised, and chapters were left unpublished. Each edition published new chapters that were meant to be amended over time and added to the previously published chapters.

Book Conservation Catalog (BCC)[edit | edit source]
Unpublished Versions[edit | edit source]
In 1987 a similar effort to the PCC was begun for book conservation. A pilot committee was formed and an outline was proposed. By 1992, the proposed headings were: Selection for Treatment; Treatment Specification; Structural Elements of the Book; Treatment Problems and Solutions: Bookleaves; Treatment Problems and Solutions: Textblock; Treatment Problems and Solutions: Cover; Containers; Exhibit and Transport; and Environmental Issues. The focus was on the conservation treatment of western books from the print era. More than 30 book conservators had begun working on chapters [2]. Although the Book Conservation Catalog was never published in paper form, eighteen chapters were developed.
Wiki Publication[edit | edit source]
When the AIC Wiki launched in 2009, the Book Conservation Catalog consisted of:
Book Conservation Catalog in 2009 | |

Purpose (unwritten) |
Section 2 - Conservation Treatments |
Chapter 1. Washing (Yasmeen Khan (compiler), Olivia Primanis, Gary Frost) |

Section 4 - Material |
Chapter 1. Animal Skin/Leather (Jennifer Hain Teper, with assistance from Cara Bovet and Melissa Straw) |
The list of compilers, editors, organizers, and contributors of the original BCC included: Priscilla Anderson, Kevin Auer, Pam Barrios, Mary Baughman, Linda Blaser, Cara Bovet, Meaghan Brown, Donia Conn, Carole Dyal, Gary Frost, Stephanie Gowler, Abbey Haywood, Werner Haun, Walter Henry, Jim Hinz, Craig Jensen, Yasmeen Khan, Chela Metzger, Chris McAffee, Olivia Primanis, Alan Puglia, Sarah Reidell, Susan Russick, Eleanore Stewart, Melissa Straw, Jennifer Hain Teper
Early Wiki editors and coordinators included: Laura Bedford, Lynn Kidder, Evan Knight, Christine McCarthy, and Alan Puglia
BPG Wiki[edit | edit source]
The BPG Wiki began in 2009 as 40 pages, including 26 paper conservation, 13 book conservation pages, and 1 page of shared interest. At the time, the paper and book portions of the BPG Wiki retained the names Paper Conservation Catalog (PCC) and Book Conservation Catalog (BCC).
BCC: Restructuring, Renaming, and Development[edit | edit source]
Over the years, the BCC was reorganized several times. In 2011, sections were added on Examination and Documentation, Preservation, and the Treatment of Circulating Collections. In 2014, the Book Conservation Catalog abandoned the use of section and chapter numbers. The table below shows the numbering and organization system in place in 2014, as well as chapters that were proposed but unwritten.

Major Developments[edit | edit source]
From 2012 to 2014, a “Wiki Working Group” explored ways to encourage the development of the online BPG catalogs, culminating in the April 2014 Wiki survey to gauge interest in Wiki publishing and develop goals for the catalogs. The survey showed that many experienced conservators use the Wiki for information on materials, methods, and treatment-based insights. Some BPG members -- particularly younger members and students -- indicated they wanted to participate but were unsure of where to contribute and the legitimacy of their contributions. Members indicated they would be more inclined to get involved in sharing information on the Wiki if the process was more collaborative (18%), user-friendly (16%), and if there were clearer Wiki policies (16%). Responses indicated a preference to contribute to a treatment tips section at an overwhelming 50% closely followed by editing existing text (42%), as well as adding citations and links to the Wiki (41%). The key finding was that people want easier, clearer ways to collaborate online. [3]
From 2014 to 2016, the Wiki Coordinators for the Paper Conservation Catalog and the Book Conservation Catalog worked to establish and communicate policies through pages like the BPG Contributors Toolbox, the BPG section of the Wiki Editors' Resources, and the BPG Reference and Bibliography Protocols. To encourage users to get involved with the wiki, a BPG Help Wanted page was created that lists opportunities for people to contribute, either singly or in groups. In 2016, a new page for past and future BPG Annual Meeting Tips Sessions was created.
In 2016, the Book Conservation Catalog changed its name to the Book Conservation Wiki to reflect its growing strength as a wiki and departure from the specialty group catalog format.
From 2016 to 2018, the BPG Wiki Coordinators undertook a reformatting campaign across the wiki. Standardization was crucial to allow for the future growth of the Wiki, so a template for new pages was created. Along the way, many issues were resolved, such as how to reduce numbering but still differentiate between sections, how to include links and references, and how to thank new and old contributors without top-loading the page. The elimination of the original numbered outline format made it much easier to grow and move information around in the wiki format. All of the BPG Wiki pages are now updated to the new format, thanks to the dedicated work of volunteers: Jennifer Evers, Sharon Fickeissen, Jill Iacchei, Clare Manias, and Rebecca Smyrl.
In 2019, the paper portion of the BPG Wiki followed the Book Conservation Wiki's lead and officially changed its name from the Paper Conservation Catalog to the Paper Conservation Wiki. The names of 54 other pages were also updated to include BPG in the title, clarifying the pages' purpose within the AIC Wiki.
In 2020, the BPG Wiki added the first translation to the wiki with the translation of the Drying and Flattening page into simplified Chinese.
As of 2021, there are 73 pages, including 29 paper conservation pages, 25 book conservation pages, and 19 pages of shared interest.
