This required setting up a conservation workshop with 4 people who were completely inexperienced and trained in exceptional skills, and a digitisation workshop with 3 people and 3 different scanners to cover all formats encountered (A4 to A00).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the digitisation workshop: Each type of document was digitised on a scanner adapted to its specificities (format, texture, &#8230;) with a high level of quality for a 1:1 scale reproduction with particular attention to the colours (watercolour plans). In addition, the input of descriptive metadata has made it easy to find the digital documents in the databases.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the restoration workshop, the <strong>goal was twofold<\/strong>. On the one hand, the <strong>image quality<\/strong> was to be improved (digitisation of all information) and on the other hand, the damage caused by improper handling was to be <strong>minimised<\/strong>. The usual steps were followed: Dusting, cleaning; assembling the pieces in a logical order; localised and complete deposit; flattening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The collection can then be treated as a whole without the need to discard damaged documents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb image=&#8221;https:\/\/staging.thememorist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Picture4.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_image=&#8221;off&#8221; min_height=&#8221;500px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;80px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;80px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;80px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In April 2021, a fire destroyed the Jagger Library.
