Conservation Services

The Conservation Services Department is responsible for performing book repair, conservation treatments and commercial binding on materials from the Libraries' diverse collections. The department operates in two spaces--the Jerry and Katherine Stannard Conservation Laboratory in Watson Library and a smaller work space in the Spencer Research Library.

Conservation Services strives to reach the following goals:

• Increase access to library materials
• Perform high-quality conservation treatments
• Maintain a high level of treatment production
• Increase visibility of conservation within the Libraries, the University of Kansas, the state of Kansas, and nation.
