2025-03-25 20:00 - 21:30 | Teach Ceoil, Grace St, Kilrush, Co. Clare, V15 PD89, Ireland
Private and smaller collections are often the poor relations in terms of the condition of bindings, paper and general wear and tear, but this need not be the case. Some basic measures should ensure the preservation of the items to a high level, and it is possible to carry out conservation measures for your collection without risking damage to your books and papers.
Michael Talty works in the County Clare Local Studies Library and County Archive. He has previously worked as a librarian and archivist in RTÉ and as an archaeologist.
