National Library paper and book conservators at Corfu Reading Society
CORFU. The conservators toured all the areas of the Reading Society, examined books and documents in need of preservation, and held discussions with the Director.
The paper and book conservators of the National Library, Christina Tsarouha and Nikolas Saris, along with their colleagues, visited the Reading Society in order to assess the conservation needs of the paper materials held in the Society's collections and to draft a relevant proposal.
The conservators toured all the areas of the Reading Society, examined books and documents in need of preservation, and had discussions with the Director, the Society’s librarians, as well as the Reading Society's collaborator, paper conservator Ms. Annetta Papavlassopoulou.
They then met with the Society's President, Mr. Makris. Also present was Ms. Eleni Stabogli-Gousti, who supports the reconstruction work of the Society's Library.
This meeting is the first step to study the complex issue of managing the bibliographic and archival wealth of the Reading Society and to identify the best methods for its preservation.
