Preserving Old Books

At the Core

Preservation

One of the coolest things about libraries is what storehouses of information they are. Ever since the "Keepers of the Tablets" in ancient Sumeria started collecting those slabs of clay, libraries have acquired and stored the works of humanity, keeping them safe for posterity. The value of preservation endures in archival, research, and special collections of unique and rare items.

 

Every project that I contribute to has its own story, and it is wonderful to be able to preserve it, and let other people hear these stories. It is satisfying knowing that I am doing the best I can to make the history of my region accessible to the public.
