New YouTube Channel + Our Virtual Lab Tour Recording

The Preservation Lab now has it’s own YouTube channel!! We have a selection of videos including how-to videos, such as How to Make a Non-adhesive Paper Slipcase or Sewing an Unsupported French Link Stitch, and treatment, documentation and outreach videos, like Preserving Your Personal Library or RTI Capture Session of a Large Cuneiform Tablet.

One of our most recent additions to our channel is the recording of our Virtual Lab Tour and Live Q&A, hosted by the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library, which took place on Tuesday. If you weren’t able to join us live, please take a look; it was a very fun event and we had so many great questions from our live viewers.

Make sure to subscribe to our channel so that you can stay up to date on any new videos we add! And don’t forget to like videos, and we’d love to hear about what you’d like to see more of from us in the future.

Save the Date: Virtual Lab Tour 1/26 at noon!

The Lab will be offering a virtual lab tour on Tuesday, January 26th at noon (EST).  The Facebook Live event will be hosted on the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library’s Facebook page.  Staff will give a tour of all of our most used and loved areas of the lab and will highlight how we use the spaces and the equipment, tools, and supplies stored in each space.  Following the tour, we will be doing a live Q&A where you can ask us any questions you might have.

We hope you can join us for our first Virtual Tour, but don’t worry if you can’t, a recording of the tour will be available after the event so that you may view it at your leisure.

Preservation Lab Virtual Tour Jan 2019

In October, the Preservation Lab welcomed special collections digital imaging to our workflow (for UC Libraries’ materials).  This new function necessitated a small lab renovation:

The results are wonderful and we are so happy to have a new staff member!
