"Book Repair on a Budget"
Join conservator Heather Parks in Charleston for a day of hands-on instruction in basic book repair procedures. Bring a book that needs some love and learn how to tip in pages, reattach end leaves, repair headcaps, and reback spines.
Heather Parks is currently the Regional Librarian at Virginia College in Columbia, South Carolina. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech and a Master of Science Degree in Information Studies from Florida State University. Having discovered her passion for book conservation, she continued her postgraduate studies at the FdA Conservation Program in Books at Camberwell College of Arts in London.
At Camberwell College, Ms. Parks focused on book structure, construction, and conservation. Volunteering was a major part of the coursework, and Ms. Parks gained experience at the Stanley Kubrick Museum, the Charles Dickens House Museum, the Ligatus Project at the Norwich Cathedral Archives, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and completed a four-month internship at The National Archives. In addition to her work at Virginia College, Ms. Parks currently lends her expertise to the South Carolina Department of Archives and History where she volunteers her time conserving both documents and bound volumes.
