To salvage a book means to preserve its history, to preserve the passion with which it is made, to salvage the wonder and curiosity of those who, over time, have used end read it.

 

Thought, evolution of the graphic arts and printing techniques, history in a wider sense as well as the not so unimportant personal histories.

A book  encapsulates within itself all these and many more important aspect that are profoundly linked to our own history.

Because of its uniqueness of content a book must be preserved in all its characteristics, both technical and artistic.

The utmost respect for the original structure of the book combined with the most recent conservation and restoration procedures is what inspires the work of book and paper conservation.

In the workshop conservation and restoration work is carried out on antique ,old and modern book .

Preventive conservation activities can be carried out for libraries and private collections.
