Case Studies

Restoring Literary Treasures

RDW Book & Paper Conservation has a rich history of successful disaster recovery missions, showcasing our expertise in conservation bookbinding in Falkirk and beyond.

Our skilled team played a pivotal role in salvaging thousands of books and precious documents from the largest library fire in the UK, which engulfed Norwich in 1994. Additionally, we were on the frontlines assisting businesses affected by the aftermath of the Bishopsgate bomb in 1993.

In more recent times, our conservation experts have been at the forefront of clean-up operations during natural disasters. We actively participated in the restoration efforts following the summer floods of 2007 and 2008, as well as the devastating flooding and landslides in 2012 and 2013.

Through our dedicated efforts, we’ve demonstrated our commitment to bookbinding in Scotland, offering our expertise in times of crisis.
