Archive Conservation Volunteers Wanted! 20 August 2010 Are you interested in conservation? Manx National Heritage is looking for volunteers to assist with conservation of historic papers from the Manx National Archives. This is a great opportunity to work with Mike Ward, one of the Island's leading archive conservators. Mike has the job of looking after the huge national library & archive collections. With Manx National Heritage’s mammoth ongoing digitisation programme, archive conservation plays a significant part in protecting the originals and preparing them to ensure that as much of the text is revealed by the digitisation process as possible. Volunteers will undertake work ranging from removing staples and other fastenings to identifying identify items in poor condition in advance of Mike carrying out remedial work on the collections prior to digital photography. If you’re interested in participating, contact Mike Ward, Conservator for Archives at Manx National Heritage on 01624 648000 or email mike.ward@mnh.gov.im More stories >>>
