Résumé

Instructional material from CCI's Design and Construction of Reusable and Modular Book Cradles APD workshop, held March 6-8 2024.
Overview : [the workshop] will focus on an innovative system for displaying books in exhibitions that was developed at the Sheridan Libraries of [John Hopkins University]. The system aims to minimize the handling of the books during mount-making and to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the exhibition preparation process as a whole without compromising the safety of the displayed objects. It consists of simple modular structures built with the thermoplastic poly(ethylene terephthalate) glycol (commercial name Vivak). This material is chosen for its great physical and chemical properties, low cost and high workability, but the design principles applied can be easily exported for developing similar displaying systems made of different materials. Since the system was adopted, the JHU conservation lab has experienced a 90% reduction in both the consumption and disposal of the thermoplastic used for cradle-making and has drastically sped up the exhibition preparation process. Getting a book ready for exhibition using this method can take as little as 15 minutes.
