Conservation experts restore a 650-year-old Irish document to digitize and preserve historical texts.

Experts are restoring a 650-year-old document from the former Archbishop of Armagh, Milo Sweteman, as part of an initiative to digitize and preserve Ireland's historical texts. This project, part of the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland, aims to make these documents accessible worldwide. The register includes legal papers, letters, and wills, offering insights into medieval life and church administration. Conservation involves repairing damage from previous preservation attempts, using specialized techniques to ensure the document's longevity.
