Would also appreciate any recommended companies that specialise in this. I had a bad experience using a place in Leeds (programme was lost).

Looking for someone to restore an old programme from the 1920s that I recently acquired.

I've seen mention of Robert James in Sidcup on this forum but that is from posts from 2009. Has anyone used someone they would recommend?

On Repair Shop there's a superb bookbinder called Chris Shaw, but he often uses a paper restorer called Louise Drover for paper repairs. She could be right for this job. No idea on contact details or prices but worth a google. I also think someone on here contacted them (TheDoog maybe?).

Louise Drover replied to my email - she cannot take on any more work at the moment as she is so busy.

She did suggest trying a search of 'Find a Conservator' here https://www.conservationregister.com/.

If you don't mind my asking, who did a great job, Jim?

Unfortunately Rob James passed away several years ago.

I have sent you a PM with regards to someone who does restoration work for me.

Hi All,

The last time I had some football programmes restored it was by Rhonda Niven, who is based at 'The Hive' at Worcester Library
you can research on line to find her email address.
