Ben Hayes [Charlton Athletic Museum]

The football club’s minute books are among the most important objects in the care of the Charlton Athletic Museum, so it was vital for us to work with a bindery we could trust to undertake their conservation and stabilisation professionally, and with due regard for their historical integrity.

The Bookends Bindery took great care to explain the treatment options available, guiding us through the likely outcomes and enabling us to make informed decisions at each stage. They kept us fully informed throughout the work, and we are delighted with the quality of the conservation and the finished result. We have already entrusted Bookends with two restoration projects and would be very pleased to work with them again.
