Aim:
The aim of BBinding conference is to present and discuss the new tendencies and best practices in nowadays bookbinding, paper, books and photography preservation and the education opportunities available in the field.
Context:
Larger established bookbinding workshops have been closed and a lot of small ateliers opened. The binding sections of the large printing factories have been automatized and many workers lost their jobs. A lot of binding sections in the libraries have been closed because of the tightening budgets and reduced visitors after the Internet expansion. Another negative tendency is that the printing and bookbinding industry shifted the investments to Asia.
BBinding conference in organized by Central Library of Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (CL BAS) and Student Computer Art Society (SCAS) from Bulgaria and the BBinding project partners: Fratelli Alinari. Fondazione per la Storia della Fotografia (Italy), Stichting Restauratie en Educatie (The Netherlands), Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz (Austria).
The organizers have considerable experience in developing training materials and innovative tools and e-learning in the field of bookbinding, paper and photography preservation as well as in the project topics related to modern and traditional bookbinding throughout the years, paper and photography preservation in the libraries, museums and archives. The organizers are also working in collaboration with professional bookbinders and restorers from Europe, European training associations and universities, libraries, archives and museums, some of them will be invited as key speakers to the conference.
