POST BINDING

This treatment is reserved for very select items, mostly from our special collections, and is justified only when it is extremely important that the original is kept for either scholarly use or exhibition purposes. All of the pages of the item displayed here have been deacidified, mended if needed for safe processing, encapsulated, and then bound into a post binding. This kind of binding allows for the pages to be removed and displayed for exhibition, and to be easily returned afterwards into the binding.
