HISTORY OF BOOK(papyrus roll)

• The first documented material, clay, was used heavily the river plains of of
Mesopotamia, where many believe writing was born.
• These clay fragments were also used by many in Egypt and across Europe.
• Around 3000 BC, the Egyptians would revolutionize the literary world by producing
a smooth, flexible writing material that could accept and retain ink without a blur or
smudge.

•This material, papyrus, would remain in use


for longer than any other material in the
history of written documents.
Islamic Binding
• Muslim conquests of the 7th century, which extended from
southern Spain, across the Middle East and North Africa.
• Archeological evidence suggests a strong Coptic influence on
Islamic bookbinding. However, Islamic binders created a number
of techniques unseen in other early book forms.
• wooden covers, the principles of case-binding, and also highly
elaborate decorative techniques using gold tooling and
stamping.
“Stonyhurst Gospels”
• Also known as The St. Cuthbert Gospel of St. John

• A pocket-sized (3.5 x 5 inch) 7th-century gospel book written in Latin is


one of the smallest surviving early Latin manuscripts.

• It belonged to Saint Cuthbert of Lindisfarne and was discovered in 1104


when Cuthbert's tomb was opened so that his relics could be transferred
to a new shrine behind the altar of Durham

Printing and binding machine


• Fifteenth century that Johann Gutenberg decided to end the issues with
block printing, and proposed a new and revolutionary movable type print
method. Individual type letters were pre-built, and words were composed
with them.
•Fairly easy to set an entire page, and the
printing process time was considerably
reduced.

•Another advantage of this method was the


fact that once a specific page had been set, it
could easily be stored, distributed and used at
a later time. The Original Gutenberg Press
• The 1800s indicate the start of the Industrial Revolution, which had
its effects on the bookbinding industry as well

• Machines began to be utilized in all manufacturing processes and


started to replace the traditional and effortful hand techniques

•As machine technology was utilized, the bindings also transformed.

• The advent of cloth tapes replaced the cords that were used in the
sewing operation.

• This transformed the entire backbone or the side panel of the books.
Book Backbone with False Bands
• False bands were also attached to retain the look of the old binding,
but the same effect could not be achieved.
CODEX
Example of Codex:

•Codex replaced the earlier rolls of papyrus and wax tablets.

•The earliest type of manuscript in the form of a modern


book (i.e., a collection of written pages stitched together
along one side).

•The codex had several advantages over the roll, or scroll. It


could be opened at once to any point in the text, it enabled
one to write on both sides of the leaf, and it could contain
long texts. The difference can be illustrated with copies of
the Bible
2.3 MODERN ARCHIVAL MATERIALS

As the time flies many And of course, the Modern material on which
other archival evolution of this is documents are being
materials were making the materials created such as audio, visual
created that are not at the archive more material, multimedia, films,
just paper-based. versatile and diverse magnetic tapes, optical disk
2.3 TYPES OF MODERN ARCHIVAL
MATERIALS
a) MAGNETIC TAPE
• Magnetic tape is a medium for magnetic recording,
made of a thin, magnetizable coating on a long, narrow
strip of plastic film.
• Devices that record and play back audio and video using
magnetic tape are tape recorders and video tape
recorders, respectively. A device that stores computer
data on magnetic tape is known as a tape drive.
• It is used for audio recording, video recording and data
storage.

Computer data on magnetic
tape

• It is used to store computer data


on magnetic tape and known as
a tape drive.
b) MICROFILM

• Microforms are scaled-down reproductions of documents,


typically either films or paper, made for the purposes of
transmission, storage, reading, and printing.
• Microform images are commonly reduced to about one twenty-
fifth of the original document size.
• Usually there are two types of them: microfilm(reels)
microfiche (flat sheets)
• Document that are kept can be letter, newspaper, photos and so
on
• Need the microform reader to view them

Microform reader
c) PHOTOGRAPH

• A picture made using a camera, in which an


image is focused on to light-sensitive
material and then made visible and
permanent by chemical treatment or stored
digitally.
• This kind of archives are kept to as a prove
other than written prove but also can be
used as the evidence that the event really
happened.
• They could be black and white or colour,
printed by a printer or photographic paper A photograph of historical
print which require a lot of different ways to moment in 1957
preserve.
d) OPTICAL
DISK

• Optical disk is any computer disk that uses optical


storage techniques and technology to read and
write data.
• It is a computer storage disk that stores data
digitally and uses laser beams (transmitted from
a laser head mounted on an optical disk drive) to
read and write data.
• Can store movie usually, or just video, also any
document like audio (songs), photos and others.
e) SLIDE

• A slide show is a presentation of a series of


still images on a projection screen or
electronic display device, typically in a
prearranged sequence.
• The changes may be automatic and at
regular intervals or they may be manually
controlled by a presenter or the viewer.
• Slide shows originally consisted of a series
of individual photographic slides projected
onto a screen with a slide projector.
• Need a tool or viewer to view the slide
