T hough I have not shared posts for some time, the Brocktorff Project is ongoing and progressing. This blog is intended to accompany the larger project on nineteenth-century music printing in Malta. So far we have checked out the different ways music was printed throughout its history, and the way sheet music was bound. We have also taken a peek at how conservators will so patiently intervene to preserve ill treated, worm eaten, stained, and neglected sheet music. I feel very fortunate that Dr Theresa Zammit Lupi kindly allowed us to witness some of this process of paper conservation. I do hope you will be checking out these pages!
