Books are my business: Conservator Louise O'Connor

Louise O'Connor: 'I first got interested in conservation through a school trip to Italy, where I had the opportunity to see conservators working on frescoes.'

How did you become a conservator?

I have been conservator of Special Collections and Archives at UCC for the past year. Previous to that, I worked as a conservator with printed collections, and prints, drawings and manuscripts in the National Library of Ireland for 15 years.
