New and modern editions, manuscripts, maps, delicate paper items conserved.

High class book repairs and conservation are the mainstay of our workload.

Early printed books, leather and vellum volumes, manuscripts, maps and handwritten documents are safely housed in acid free boxes awaiting attention.

Drawing on experience gained over 30 years in conservation bookbinding, both in Ireland and abroad and continuing our policy of employing specialists in book and paper conservation from many countries, our staff keep up to date with current trends and thinking in this ever evolving field.

Traditional bookbinding skills passed down through generations, are utilised with modern archival/acid free/conservation materials.

Over the past 20 years, we have undertaken projects for libraries, museums, book collectors, private commissions, antiquarian trade and the book publishing industry. However, the ongoing flow of jobs from the general public, received on a word of mouth basis, is the backbone of our workload and provides us with the variety and challenge we enjoy.
