#library renovation

[willywaldo]

The conservation effort — informally named “The Great Decant” — started on April 1, when the first tome, Volume 1 of Reeves’s “History of English Law,” printed in London in 1869, was taken from its place on shelf 1.1., in the Long Room’s upper gallery, which is closed to tourists. The book was dusted with a specially modified vacuum cleaner, it was measured, its physical condition was noted, and its details were checked against the Long Room’s catalog, written in 1872.

The book was then labeled with a radio-frequency identification tag and put in a bar-coded box — the first of more than 700,000 books, manuscripts, busts and other artifacts that will be relocated from the Old Library to a climate-controlled, off-campus storage facility.

If you haven't seen the magnificent Long Room at Trinity College, go now. Starting in October 2023, it will be closed to the public for a three-year restoration project.

Buildings where you don't have a choice about being there should be held to the highest standards of accessibility. If you are going to forcibly compel people to be in a building, it must be possible for them to move around the building easily.

An incomplete list of said buildings:

-Courthouses -Prisons -All buildings related to acquiring licenses of any kind -Public schools

Ideally, of course, all buildings should be held to the highest accessibility standards. But if you're going to be slapped with criminal charges for not showing up somewhere, then it should be incredibly high priority to make sure that everyone can be in the building and move around it.

one of those pictures is from Marsh's Library, which is a collection assembled in the early 18th century by the Archbishop of Dublin and a former Provost of Trinity College. Subsequent additions have been made as well, and its current claim to fame is that it's where Bram Stoker did his research about Transylvania and vampires.

It's a very cool space, and the staff on duty didn't mind my bothering them about why so many books were marked "opera" (from the Latin, meaning work in collection) and why there was a skull sitting in the reading room (it's a cast of Esther Johnson's, who had an ambiguous relationship with Jonathan Swift).

However, most interesting to me was that…it's just a library. Very little is behind glass, there were none of the blink-y lights or bulky monitors I associate with maintaining a historical collection of books. You can't check out the books, obviously---but then, you never could. I don't even think there was air conditioning.

When I asked about it, the curator said that the library has existed for so long, it's its own ecosystem. The books swell or shrink together as the room warms or cools; the shades are drawn to prevent direct sun damage, but that's about it. Staff basically just monitor moisture levels, and if it it goes the wrong way?

"We open a window," the curator said with a shrug.
