Lunch with the Libraries Speaker Series: Alessandro Scola

Description

Alessandro Scola, senior book conservator at the Johns Hopkins Sheridan Libraries, will give a talk titled "3D Printing in Book Conservation" followed by a Q&A.

This presentation will describe 3D printing and its strengths, weaknesses, and potential as applied to book conservation. A series of 3D-printed objects designed and produced in the Sheridan Libraries Conservation Lab will be highlighted, ranging from unobtrusive mounts for artifacts in the current Women of the Book exhibit at the George Peabody Library to prototypes of folding book cradles for special collection reading rooms.

Presented by the Friends of the Johns Hopkins University Libraries and the Office of Alumni Relations Lifelong Learning.
