Unfinished Business: Incomplete bindings made for the book trade from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century

From the change.org website. Sign the petition here.

Canterbury Cathedral and the University of Kent have joined forces in a bid to prevent a unique historic collection of several thousand manuscripts, early books, and pamphlets being broken up.

It is with great pleasure that we can record that Christopher Clarkson was awarded an Honorary Doctorate on 16 July by the University of the Arts London, in recognition of his extraordinary contribution to the conservation of parchment and paper manuscripts, early printed books and book-bindings. It was an occasion on which to remember his first contact with the then independent Camberwell College of Arts and Crafts as a 13-year-old schoolboy and to mark his continuing dedication to the education of young conservators not only in the United Kingdom but across the world.

On Thursday 3rd February 2011 at 6:00 p.m. in the Rootstein Hopkins East Space, London College of Fashion, John Princes Street,
Professor Nicholas Pickwoad will give a lecture “Finding Words- The Ligatus Glossary Project” as a part of the UAL Professorial Platform.

The Study Day will be concentrated around Saint Catherine’s Monastery at Mount Sinai, its manuscripts and their conservation and will take place at Ioannou Centre for Classical and Byzantine Studies, University of Oxford on Saturday, 27 November.

Please join us to celebrate the launch of 'The Portable John Latham'.

The Incidental Person

1 object explored for 7 days, 24 hours a day, by a rolling team of researchers from the arts and sciences.

Object Retrieval is a project by artist Joshua Sofaer and is curated by Simon Gould in association with UCL Museums & Collections. The website for the project has been created by the Ligatus Research Unit. Object Retrieval has a simple premise - to uncover as much information as possible about one object from UCL’s Museums & Collections in the space of 7 days.
