The aim of the Traditional Care Practices series is to illustrate the relationship between traditional caretakers and their books. The series connects with manuscript scholars and knowledge keepers across several Hidden Stories research areas and will be a transformative resource for GLAMs, conservation labs, and a broad public of book users and caregivers. The Hidden Stories project hopes to share this information widely, in order to improve the handling, display, care, and storage of these heritage objects.

The first video, filmed with Eyob Derillo and Ethiopic manuscripts at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library (Toronto), is viewable below, with more to follow through the duration of the Hidden Stories project.
