The CSMC organised a hands-on workshop ‘Care and Conservation of Palm-leaf and Paper Manuscripts in Nepal’ in cooperation with the Āśā Saphūkuthi (Asha Archives) to inform and teach the different cleansing and stabilisation techniques and the fabrication of special archival boxes. The training was attended by staff and associated members of the various archives and libraries of the Kathmandu valley and headed by renowned conservator and quite passionate trainer, Michaelle Biddle, who was also active in CSMC’s earlier project for ‘Safeguarding the Manuscripts of Timbuktu’.
