'I love my work. I love working with my hands. When I see damage to a book, it's like the book needs a doctor – and I'm that doctor.'
Bringing books back to life – that's the magic that Roger works as one of the incredibly talented conservators in our @BL_CollCare team 📚

Our archive holds information vital to our understanding of Scotland’s historic places, including sites looked after by @welovehistory. Within it, there are around 6 million items & 15km of shelving. 🤯
Soon, it will be finding a new home. Find out more

We love to see buildings reused, so our Archive House project will transform an existing building in Bonnyrigg into a world-class facility ow.ly/b9qa50OMOq9

Did you know that William Morris wrote poetry? In fact, he was best known during his life as a writer. Images of nature abound throughout his writing and designs.
Poem: 'Flora', published 1891

In 2014 I was lucky enough to attend the International Course on Conservation of Japanese Paper in Japan. Over the last three days I have contributed to an online seminar reflecting on, sharing experiences and appreciating this wonderful course with fellow JPC alumni. #iccrom
