Join Conservator Eloïse Lovejoy for a little ASMR at the Museum.
Put your headphones on and listen as Eloïse gently cares for a copy of Treatise on Zoology, published in Paris in 1884, which is held in the Library and Archives collection.
Our oldest natural history book was published in 1469 - though it was written much earlier by Pliny the Elder!
You can flip through the pages of our first edition copy of Historia Naturalis online: www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2...

Wow! Just Wow! I have seen books in museums like this before but this is the best tutorial on the know-how!! I have some immensely precious first, second and third editions of Charles Lyell, Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, Thomas Henry Huxley etc., in my natural history library. And now I know how to preserve them with love! Thank you very much indeed Natural History Museum!

That was wonderful. I learned a lot from your video, such as wrapping a book for tying and more. You have beautiful nails btw! An inspiration for this old nail biter! I worked in school libraries sometimes and always had a penchant for covering books to look after them. I still cover my new book covers carefully with plastic. One niggle...the sound at the beginning was very muted and hard to understand. Thanks for the instructional video.

The ASMR was effective, but I have to question whether book wrapping with such thick paper/cardboard was beneficial, given that the book needs to be tied shut. The book will become somewhat warped, and will continue to decay inside the wrapper regardless.
