This lecture on preservation and conservation of traditional Chinese books will begin by discussing the origin and evolution of traditional Chinese bindings and listing some common condition issues, such as insect damage, mold, deteriorated materials, and broken structures. It will then introduce corresponding preventive practices and treatment methods, along with a discussion on the close relationship between conservation and digitization. The speaker will also share the philosophy, practice, and development of conservation work at the University of Hong Kong Libraries, using case studies to highlight the crucial role played by preservation and conservation. Through this presentation, the speaker aspires to provide attendees with a more comprehensive understanding of the preservation and conservation of Chinese rare books while simultaneously raising public awareness regarding the importance of safeguarding our cultural heritage.
