The Cello Music
Collections constitute the largest single holding of cello music-related
materials in the world and is a part of Martha Blakeney Hodges Special
Collections and University Archives at UNCG. From this collection we
received several books to be treated at the UNCG Preservation Services, some
with minor repairs and others requiring a full conservation and restoration
treatment.
The variety of types of bindings and materials from this
collection is broad, but here you can have a glimpse of a three-quarter-bound
leather with decorative paper on the cover. The restoration took place
following all the precepts of a conservation point of view, achieving a result
that meets both functionality and aesthetics.
