@AmazingMeagen@historians.socialReturning to exhibition preparation. As soon as the display cases are locked, we begin (actually, resume) working on the next exhibition.
This letter from 1815 is on beautiful handmade paper with iron gall ink. I've removed the item from a guard book. I'm using flexible sheet magnets (right) to hold the edge flat between release layers and blotter while removing the remnants of the guard (left).

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialMy latest batch of handmade paper is done. There's one sheet on the left that has not been pressed, and a stack on the right that has been pressed and has a very smooth surface. (Ready for more relief prints!)

@thejguy@social.linux.pizza @rasterweb@mastodon.socialI made another batch of handmade paper… 32 sheets this time. Still needs to dry, and then get pressed. Then I’ll print on it!

@AmazingMeagen@historians.socialBeauty is in the eye of the beholder.
This can definitely be the case with stabilised archives. Evidence of previous storage conditions show on these two pages including water damage and mould.
Now cleaned, sized and repaired, this item is ready for consultation in the Reading Room.
