Before I am let loose into the eager hands of queuing researchers, take note! We don't want the work of our Keira McKee to be undone. I'm still a delicate flower. #BookConservation #CollectionCare #MedievalManuscripts

Every last bit and scrap of me is being preserved & documented - that's how important I am! Here's some of my "gutter debris" going for pollen analysis by Dr Kathryn M Rudy (well, you never know what this might tell us about where I've been ...) #BookConservation

And this is what all my archived bits & bobs look like! Thanks to our Keira McKee for making such a neat and tidy job of me and my old threads #BookConservation #YouNeverKnowWhatMightBeImportant

Since you all seem to be obsessed with packaging - how about this swanky new clamshell box our Keira McKee has made for me? #BookConservation #Preservation #MyNewHouse

My adventures continue! Can you guess where I am this week? Here's our Keira McKee handing me over to KotrynaUla Kiliulyte in the Photographic Unit (that's a clue 🧐) #Digitisation #MedievalManuscripts

So my National Manuscripts Conservation Trust #Conservation project is now officially completed and reported! I'm v pleased with myself but my friends will be glad to know it doesn't mean a totally restored #NewMe - check out the remnants of my past gloriously gauffered & incised fore-edge preserved here

Do you remember when I used to look like this? Our Keira McKee did a recap on my project to my v own special interest group yesterday. Because this is not the end - all sorts of chat about workshops & digital projects & future research. Sounds like I'm going to be busy!!

So that's why my ears are burning @JuliaMcClure_ Margarita3 ! Can't wait to hear what you are brewing up (besides 🍻)

Quite right too Keira McKee - glad to see my old #Binding and other bits & bobs getting the five star treatment #OnlyTheBestforME

Look who appears as a case study on the National Manuscripts Conservation Trust website! I'm getting to be quite famous, don't you think? You can read all about me here: nmct.co.uk/case-studies/u… #BookConservation #FameAtLast

Who do I spy with my little eye here? Shout out of thanks to Margarita3 for sending me this special journal issue dedicated to el Lienzo de Tlaxcala #CompareandContrast

V excited that some of my calendar #Pigments are to be analysed for an Christina Young dissertation project over the summer. Some preliminary measuring up going on here & I can't wait to get started!

Look what has just turned up in our #RareBook BE cataloguing backlog @JuliaMcClure_ MS Hunter 242 - a 1901 facsimile of this mega Aztec #Manuscript: come & ask for Sp Coll BE6-a.9 if you can't make it to National Museums Liverpool Liverpool to see the original eleanor.lib.gla.ac.uk/record=b3860424

Haven't I been quiet lately! But looks like I am coming out of my box for a workshop tomorrow - can't wait to meet everyone @JuliaMcClure_ Meanwhile Julie Gardham has updated my catalogue description AT LAST gla.ac.uk/collections/#/…

I think it is fair to say that everyone was enthralled by me. Thanks @JuliaMcClure_ Julie Gardham Keira McKee for the intros this morning. No, I haven't given up all my secrets yet. But that is because I want YOU to delve into me more. Calendar wheels anyone?

And everyone was clamouring - when will you be digitally available to us, so we can admire you to our heart's content? It will be soon my amigos (is that not so Graeme J. Kemp ?)!

It was great to meet you Caroline Dodds Pennock !

I am just fabulous! Not my words (on this occasion for a change 🤣)

Do you want to come and work on ME in all my wonder?? What are you waiting for - apply for a visiting research fellowship University of Glasgow Library - I've got lots to tell you & can't wait to meet you all! Get those applications in by 9/11 👇👇👇👇

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack everybody! Getting acquainted with AJ @_kunstjunge_ who is having fun with my pics! gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/libr…
