Conserving the U-M Pamphlet Collection

Antonius Broos' generous donation has facilitated the rehousing of this extraordinary collection comprising approximately 4,300 pamphlets or tracts. In the accompanying video, Project Conservator Julie Kaisen elucidates the intricate process of rebinding each pamphlet. The multi-step treatment encompasses the extraction of pamphlets from their antiquated library bindings to their current condition, ensuring they are readily accessible for digitization, research purposes, and future exhibition displays.
