Guided tour of the exhibition «Bi(bli)odiversité : collections anciennes, un patrimoine durable?»
Come and discover the exhibition of the media library, during a guided tour.
The words fly away, the writings remain, they say.
Still, the support of the written word must be perennial and pass the test of time! The old works, composed of different materials (paper, parchment, leather, wood, glue, metal, fabric) are likely to undergo various degradation over time: tears, molds, burns, discolorations, falls...
In the face of these dangers, how can we maintain and preserve this written heritage in order to better transmit it to future generations? Based on examples from the language collections, the exhibition aims to show the public the material aspect of a heritage by sustainable vocation.
