Camberwell College of Art would like to announce the start of the first UK
Foundation Degree (FdA) in Book Conservation. The course, run by
Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts, is a new Foundation
degree, and will start in October 2007. The course has been designed by
conservation course leaders at Camberwell, in close collaboration with the
British Library, and staff from other book conservation departments
working in major cultural institutions. Practical book conservation work
placements for 2nd year students will be shared amongst the British
Library and other institutions with book conservation departments.
Training at the British Library will be provided by experts working in
book conservation in the new British Library Centre for Conservation which
opens this May. The course was created to help address the need to
increase the number of conservators specialising and working in the field
of book conservation.
