January is Wiki edit-a-thon month! Please help us update and add content to the BPG Wiki. This year, we would love contributions of images to add to our pages. All pages could benefit from additional images, but the paper-specific pages often have none or very few images.
Here is a list of specific photos that would greatly benefit our pages:
Conservation equipment: various Japanese lining brushes, surface cleaning materials (sponges, brushes, erasers, etc.), adhesives, humidification equipment (sprays, humidification chamber), etc.
Paper condition issues: mat burn, photo-oxidation, stains, old tapes, tears, foxing, media problems, etc.
Paper conservation treatment: washing (immersion, capillary, etc.), lining setups, mending, fills, inpainting, tape removal, consolidation, etc.
Paper and paper-like supports: Japanese papers, palm leaf, pith paper, tapa, ivory, collage, restrained papers, fans, etc.
Book topics: book boards identification images, board attachment examples (adhered boards, split boards), etc.
All images should be your own work and copyright-free, and should be a .png or .jpg file format. Please provide a short caption of what is being pictured (1-2 sentences) and the photographer name.
If you have a wiki editor account, feel free to upload them yourself using the AIC Wiki file upload page, otherwise please email us with your contributions at bookandpapergroup.wiki@gmail.com!
