Some Old Friends

I went down to Chichester yesterday where I met up with a couple of old friends from West Dean. One has recently set himself up as a book and paper conservator specializing in 18th century maps, which he is repairing, flattening and colouring in. This contrasts to the philosophy at Libre Livre where we firmly believe in minimal intervention.

My other friend has recently come across some family papers dating from 1840 onwards which are in need of conservation, and de-acidification. "Of course" he said to me "they are of no value, but....". At Libre Livre, however, we recognise that all the documents we work on are of great value to our customers and their personal heritage.
