I have emailed photos of the cover and the writing to a conservation officer at Dorset History Centre for her advice.
Hope she has some good, but not too complex, ideas!

I will research a conservation supply company to see what they can offer.
I hope to be moving this year so want to get it protected before that happens.

I’d be concerned about the leather but have no idea.

Thanks to a fellow RootsChatter I now have the back cover of an old Bible, first entry is 1857.
It is smaller than my iPad so, fingers crossed, it can be preserved. Should I put it in a frame or just use Acid Free paper to wrap it?
Thanks for any advice/suggestions.

Cuppa consumed…..now to find the best way to preserve it. Fortunately it’s not too big…..smaller than my iPad!

My little piece of Pain history has just arrived! I think I need a sit down with a cuppa to calm down…..so thrilled.
So kind of Ralph_Tudor to rescue it and then look for a family.
Off to put the kettle on…….

Update…..I have been in touch with Ralph_Tudor and he will send the item to me.
I guess you will all appreciate just how excited I am about this!
