We have had a fabulous paper conservator working on our archives recently. Here's an example of where pressure sensitive tape has been removed. #Archive30 #ConservationWin

Many of the biggest items in our archive are posters, like this recruitment one from 1945-1952 recently worked on by our conservator. #Archive30 #SomethingBig #Conservation #Conservation Win
