Most recently, IIC asked for internship reviews and I submitted a short piece regarding my time with the Edward James Foundation, working in historic West Dean. Never before had I worked for a historic home and never shall I forget the experience. While my article (starts page 32) focuses one aspect of my internship, as many of us know there is much more going on behind the scenes. Being adaptable to many circumstances and issues throughout the day made the job both exciting and rewarding. I very much enjoyed working with the collections team who cared about the house, the stories it had to tell, and everyone who interacted with home in all its aspects. I hope one enjoys the small slice of my time there and I encourage everyone in the West Sussex area to visit the lovely and grand West Dean.

Before this year ends, I want to take a look back on my final year of my MA and post about projects that happened. I wrote this blog during my internship with Emma Fraser, the Book and Paper Studio, Dundee Scotland. I spent a total of three weeks learning from her and I am incredibly grateful for that time.
Some of the projects I worked on were a small leather tight back book and used a technique Emma developed, an album which required some creative ephemeral attachments for display, and a late 20th century book. Of all the things, I learned a good deal regarding how private practice works in conservation and for that I am ever grateful. The following is a blog post I created for the University of St. Andrews. Emma invited me join her in performing a survey of books for treatment: A Day in a Bookish Cornucopia |
