is very curious to know that although Brazil is part of Latin America, is a world apart, that what was found on a course where I met several American and between them to a graphic art restorer Sao Paulo, Priscilla Alegre. She works in the Sao Paulo Cultural Center and showed us a PowerPoint presentation, your workplace, where we could see its facilities, equipment, furniture and other needs of the developed world. And to know the situation and the conditions (if any) in working conservation workshops and restoration of libraries and archives in each country felt very lucky, because she thought they were in the "prehistory."
is no doubt that the language is the dominant factor of ignorance of what is happening in Latin America and Brazil, where this is being generated very interesting work in the field of conservation, restoration and binding, a sample of it is the Brazilian Association of Bookbinding and Restoration (ABER), with high activity and excellent professional level of its partners.
Another noteworthy work is that various institutions have developed in Brazil and an American institution: Commission on Preservation and Access, incorporated into the Council on Library and Information Resources, called "Projeto Conservação em Preventive Library and Archives" which have been translated and published 52 articles on conservation, risk management and related issues, found one of them very interesting, "Handbook of Small Repairs em Livros" filled with many pictures and updated information.
