Our wonderful team of five NADFAS (National Association
of Decorative & Fine Arts Societies) Heritage Volunteers has been cleaning our rare
books since July last year. I have written an article all about the project and
the progress made so far (with pictures!) for the NADFAS Review Volunteer
Supplement which was published on 25th May.
I have posted the article on our special collections website: http://www.zoo.cam.ac.uk/library/special.html#clean
See here for further details of the project http://www.balfourlibrary.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/book-cleaning-project-in-library.html
(you can also click on the ‘cleaning’ label further down on the right hand side
of the blog to see additional blog posts relating only to this project).
The current team will hopefully continue to work throughout
the Summer Vacation 2012. They are starting again next Thursday 7th
June following a break during the Easter Term.
