Exhibition, Trade and Museum Catalogues

Often founts of great scholarship, having once served their original purpose of accompanying and supporting a particular event, all too often, in similar manner to their allied publications, auction catalogues, the lifespan of these catalogues is cut short in it’s prime. The exhibition over, the museum visit exhausted, the catalogue, so lovingly prepared, it’s content edited with such diligence, is cast aside and forgotten. This we regard as a great shame and thus, as a minor aspect of our conservation programme, do we seek to rescue such publications from oblivion and save them for posterity.
