Repair Week: Paper consultations and Solander Box Making with Ashleigh Brown
In these sessions, paper conservator Ashleigh Brown of The Conservators, gave expert advice during consultations and showed the group how to make a medium-sized solander box to store heritage material safely. A Solander box is a type of specialist casing, commonly used in archives to store old and precious manuscripts, maps, prints, documents, books, and other paper objects. Together with Ashleigh, we learnt how to build archival cases for the most treasured possessions, helping to keep them in tip top condition and act as preventative conservation.
