Home page of the CONSER Program (Cooperative Online Serials Program, CONSER, PCC, Library of Congress) Hand Bookbindings: Modern Conservation Binding. By the end of the nineteenth century, bookbinding practices had widely declined to a dismal level with the use of ever poorer materials and techniques.
