Newberry Library. Conservation Dept.
The Conservation Department was created at the Library in 1975 and included production binding, fine binding, and paper and leather conservation and restoration in a Bindery Section and a Conservation Section.
Although the Library had supported bookbinding facilities since the mid-1890's, it had no department charged with conserving and preserving the library collections until 1964 when Paul Banks, appointed the Library's first conservator, took charge of conservation, binding, printing, and photoduplication in what was to become the Technical Department in 1965. In 1970, fine binding and paper and leather conservation split off under Banks to form the Conservation Laboratory. In 1975, production binding and the Conservation Laboratory were reunited in a new Conservation Department, which by 1983, also included the Photoduplication Section.
