Hi Julie,

My colleagues here at the University of Delaware, and at the Winterthur Museum, put together some helpful resources about poison book bindings: https://sites.udel.edu/poisonbookproject/

Yikes! Are “poison books” a common occurrence in special collections?
How do you figure out which ones are poisonous candidates?

Hello,
Our preservation staff are working on "poison books" from Special Collections and wanted to know what type of note they should use locally about handling them carefully (when they add their preservation notes). Anyone have recommendations?

Thanks for your assistance,
Colleen
