The display of single-sheet material: two recent exhibitions at the Bodleian Library, Oxford

Book section : Chapter

Although the Bodleian Library, Oxford, has a long tradition of displaying bound books this paper will concentrate on two recent exhibitions that have been drawn almost entirely from single-sheet material. Within the library single-sheet material is stored in a number of housing formats and these dictate how our material can be displayed. This paper will describe a panel mounting system using polyester slings that has been developed to enable this material to be safely and attractively displayed without removing them from their original backing sheets.
