Dear colleagues,

I am sharing the references for a two-part article perhaps of interest to some among us.

Wiland, Julia, Rick Brown, Lizzie Fuller, Lea Havelock, Jackie Johnson, Dorothy Kenn, Paulina Kralka, Marya Muzart, Jessica Pollard & Jenny Snowdon. 2022. “A Literature Review of Palm Leaf Manuscript Conservation—Part 1: A Historic Overview, Leaf Preparation, Materials and Media, Palm Leaf Manuscripts at the British Library and the Common Types of Damage.” Journal of the Institute of Conservation 45 (3): 236–59. https://doi.org/10.1080/19455224.2022.2115093.
———. 2023. “A Literature Review of Palm Leaf Manuscript Conservation—Part 2: Historic and Current Conservation Treatments, Boxing and Storage, Religious and Ethical Issues, Recommendations for Best Practice.” Journal of the Institute of Conservation 46 (1): 64–91. https://doi.org/10.1080/19455224.2023.2167095.

The pdfs I have just obtained weigh about 4.5 MB each. I am trying to attach them though unsure of if attachments of such weight can be handled.

Best wishes,

Arlo Griffiths
