A "Reback" is a common technique used in book conservation to extend the life of damaged or deteriorated books with minimal intervention. This method is often used when the spine of a book is damaged, worn, or missing, while the rest of the book structure is in good condition and the cover-to-text attachment is sound. This photo shows an example of a successful rebacking treatment, where a new spine piece has been added for structural integrity while retaining the original spine for aesthetic reasons.

An essential skill in our conservation work is paper fiber analysis using a polarized light microscope (PLM), which provides valuable information about paper composition. This information helps us determine the most appropriate conservation treatment and materials to use. Our Preservation Centre is equipped with a PLM microscope, as shown in this photo, along with a reference set of prepared microscope slides for comparison.

As part of our responsibilities, we produce facsimiles when necessary. This involves taking high-resolution pictures of the original, followed by printing and binding, to replicate the original as closely as possible in terms of scale, color, binding, and material qualities. To achieve exceptional detail and color permanence, we use an Epson SureColor P5000 printer, equipped with a pigment ink set. The attached photo demonstrates the level of fidelity we strive for when creating our facsimiles.

At the Preservation Centre, we have four gold stamping machines and a valuable set of Chinese movable type from the mid-20th century. These machines consist of a heating plate that warms up the lead type to the appropriate temperature, along with a press mechanism that applies the arranged characters to book covers or spines with the appropriate amount of pressure, and a thin layer of gold foil or pigment is transferred onto the surface of the book. This traditional technique is commonly used to add titles, author names, and other details to book covers and spines, and can help enhance the aesthetic value of a book.

Books in Hong Kong are often damaged by insects due to the tropical climate, making paper-based collections vulnerable. Repairing East Asian rare books with insect holes can be time-consuming, so at the Preservation Centre, our top priority is to repair the holes that affect the book's usability or may cause further damage. To repair these holes, we use appropriate repair tissue that matches the original materials as closely as possible and adhere it to the damage with thin wheat starch paste. In addition to the traditional method, we also use hybrid methods to speed up the repair work, as shown in this video.

Repairing East Asian rare books with insect holes can be time-consuming, so at the Preservation Centre, our top priority is to repair the holes that affect the book's usability or may cause further damage. To repair these holes, we use appropriate repair tissue that matches the original materials as closely as possible and adhere it to the damage with thin wheat starch paste. In addition to the traditional method, we also use hybrid methods to speed up the repair work, as shown in this video.

Double-fan adhesive binding is a book repair technique used to reattach loose pages or fix compromised adhesive-bound volumes, such as paperbacks. The Planatol double-fan binding machine, manufactured in Germany, is an essential tool for this process at the Preservation Centre. The technique involves fanning out the pages in both directions while applying adhesive to each side of each page. The pages are then pressed together and left to dry. This efficient and straightforward technique is commonly used for general book repair, but it is not suitable for all types of binding.

Removing tape is a critical step in book and paper conservation as tape can cause severe damage to paper objects over time, such as staining, discoloration, or tearing. The process involves using specialized tools, such as a hot air pen with controlled temperature, to soften the adhesive and carefully release the tape carrier with a micro spatula. Any residue left on the surface is then reduced with a crepe eraser. While tape may seem like a quick fix for a tear, its removal is a delicate and time-consuming process requiring high skill and judgement. This video demonstrates the process of removing pressure-sensitive tape using a hot air pen.

Resewing is a common conservation technique used to repair damaged or weakened bindings. This is especially important for traditional East Asian books, which are constructed from delicate materials such as paper and silk thread, rather than the heavier binder’s board, linen thread, and glues typically found in Western bindings. The conservator carefully removes the damaged thread and resews the book using a new thread that matches the color and thickness of the original as closely as possible. In this video, our conservator demonstrates the process of sewing a four-hole thread binding.

Wheat starch paste is a versatile adhesive that is commonly used at the Preservation Centre to repair paper-based objects. Its stability and reversibility make it an ideal choice for conservation treatment. To make wheat starch paste, we use a scale to measure the required amount of wheat starch and water, which is then cooked on a hot plate in a non-stick pot using a wooden paddle to stir. The cooked paste can be diluted with water to achieve the desired consistency that best suits the object being treated. In addition to wheat starch paste, we also prepare other types of adhesive or solution, such as methylcellulose, Klucel G, and gelatin, to meet specific needs for different materials.

The conservator plays a crucial role in all stages of exhibition preparation, and one essential aspect of the work is creating book cradles. These cradles are specially designed and customized to provide support to the spine and pages of a book during exhibitions or displays, helping to prevent stress or damage to the binding. To ensure the best quality, we construct our book cradles from high-quality materials such as museum-grade mat board and Vivak. The design of book cradles can vary depending on the size, weight, and binding style of the book they are intended to hold.
