Our History

DERRY PAPER AND BOOK CONSERVATION LTD

Prior to 1984 Derry had been operating as a printers for over 100 years along with a well-established and renowned handcraft bookbinding department, where all types of traditional bookbinding, marbling and gold leaf finishing were carried out.

In the spring of 1984 it was decided to compliment these bookbinding skills with a paper and book conservation and restoration department. This has grown along with our reputation from a staff of six to a team of six handcraft bookbinders and restorers, seventeen experienced paper conservators and one trainee bookbinder. Derry Paper and Book Conservation Limited specialises in interventive, restorative conservation and repair of books, plans, maps, photographs, letters, posters, music scores and manuscripts.
