Meet Bronwen Glover, books and archives conservator at McMaster University Libraries, whose work combines art and science to preserve rare books, maps, photographs, and manuscripts that are hundreds of years old. From restoring a medieval manuscript dating to the 1150s to examining a 13th-century miniature Bible under a microscope, every project helps keep these irreplaceable pieces of history accessible for learning and research. 📚

Swipe through to get a behind-the-scenes look at the Conservation Lab in the lower level of Mills Memorial Library and the fascinating work of preserving the past for future generations. ✨
