Lecture Notes, PowerPoint Presentations and Workshop Instructions
- "You're Gonna Do What?!?" The Conservation of Paper-based Archival Materials
- A PowerPoint presentation created for the 2005 meeting of the International Council on Archives/Section on University and Research Institution Archives held at the Kellogg Center. The presentation illustrates how archivists can best preserve their unique manuscript collections and what types of conservation efforts are appropriate on such materials.
I also gave an updated and slightly modified version of this presentation for the 2007 Michigan Archival Association annual conference in Ann Arbor, MI.

- Information listing options for the repair of books in a reference, or other heavily used, collection. Includes illustrations of common types of damage found in such books.

- A PowerPoint presentation showing examples of publisher's cloth bindings, disucssing the technology of late 19th century book production, and a demonstration of how to conserve these beautifully illustrated books.
- Board Reattachment Workshop
- Information for participants taking a workshop I taught at the Garage Annex School of the Book Arts in Easthampton, MA. The information and pictures illustrate the differences between a tightback and hollowback leather-bound book.
