Balfour Library Conservation Project - article published in volunteer newsletter - now available to read online

Last week I blogged about the article I wrote for NADFAS about our wonderful team of Heritage Volunteers that has been cleaning our rare books since July 2011. 

The NADFAS Review Volunteers Supplement was published on 25^th May 2012 and I have posted my article on our special collections website at: http://www.zoo.cam.ac.uk/library/special.html#clean

It is also now available to read online in the NADFAS Review e-zine Volunteering Supplement Summer 2012 at: http://view.digipage.net/?id=nadfasvolunteerssummer2012
