I believe that our cultural history is valuable to our sense of self and society, and if we can hold pieces of history, we have a great chance of understanding who and where we are within our own historical narrative.

 

Conservation allows this cultural value to be experienced and in turn gives the object a higher economic value. 

 

My vision is to build the economic value of books and archival objects by:

 

• Uncovering the tangible value of the objects by conserving them for the future.
• Revealing the personal and social history of books and archival objects.

 

I will achieve this by

 

• Creating detailed histories of books and archival objects that allow the user to fully understand its cultural significal and economic value.

• Preserving material integrity with interventive conservation when required to extend the longevity of the item, and therefore the value.

• Creating bespoke, beautiful housing that will protect your object from environmental damage whilst offering aesthetic storage.
