Renate Mesmer is head of Conservation and Preservation at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. Mesmer is an experienced book and paper conservator with more than 20 years’ experience in the field. The William Anthony Conservation Lecture Series, hosted by the University of Iowa Libraries Conservation and Collections Care Department, invites book and paper conservators and bookbinders to share their experience and work with the UI book arts community and beyond. Funded by a generous gift that established the William Anthony Endowment in 1989, it honors the Libraries’ first conservator and the first bookbinding instructor at University of Iowa Center for the Book.
