Glossary of Book and Library Conservation

Mahdi Ghorbani

M.A student of the conservation of cultural and historical objects, Artuniversity of Tehran

Abstract One of the most significant goals in collecting and editing the conventional terms and expressions in a language is to share and convey the information both written and oral through focusing on particular subjects from one language to another. The glossary elaborated below is a collection of some daily and technical terms translated from English to Persian regarding to some key words based on practical literature in the libraries. We have tried to collect the most controversial words pictorially in order to have an appropriate use to make a technical guide for studying the conservators of books and libraries more reasonably.

Key words: Glossary, Conservation and Restoration, Book, Paper, Bookbinding.
