TitleOldham Tank Week minutes and correspondence etc
DescriptionVolume of minutes, correspondence, speech transcripts, newspaper cuttings and posters relating to Oldham Tank Week. The original newspaper cuttings and posters have been removed from the volume as they are too fragile to be consulted. Copies of the newspaper cuttings have been created and will be produced instead of the originals. The posters are awaiting conservation assessment.
DateFeb 1918
Physical DescriptionThe spring lock binding and spine block has come loose from the front and back boards. The tines from the spring lock mechanism have been removed and the loose pages of minutes, correspondence and speech transcripts have been retained between the back boards with the spine block in position. This has been wrapped in acid free paper and tied with archival tape. The volume may be produced for researchers but must be set out for them, and the original page order must be maintained. The original newspaper cuttings and posters have been removed from the binding as they are friable and susceptible to further damage if handled. They have been placed in acid free envelopes and their original positions marked in the bidning with acid free bookmarks. They must not be produced for researchers.
