Gresham Music Collection Conservation: Update on Restoration Activity

Report of the Town Clerk

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the Town Clerk updating the Committee on the Gresham Music Collection conservation project. The Town Clerk introduced the report and gave Members an outline of developments since the previous update. The Committee noted that restoration on the Music Collection was now complete, and attention would turn to the remaining collections as soon as was practicable.

 

A Member asked whether the online lecture given by the conservators could be repeated. The Principal Librarian responded that although one of the conservators had since left the City Corporation, he would check whether the event had been recorded and share any footage with the Committee. The Member suggested that they could be invited back to do another event, such a lecture at Guildhall Library or the London Metropolitan Archive.

 

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
