Muckross Bookbindery - Original Kerry Crafts

Mucros Bookbindery and Paper Conservation Workshop

At our workshop, in Killarney National Park, we employ traditional bookbinding skills, with modern conservation methods, to provide the very best, all-round, care for items on paper.

We undertake rare book and paper repairs on early printed books, manuscripts and maps, as well as on leather bindings and vellum documents. The only materials that we use are of archival quality and are acid free.

Over the past thirty years, we have worked closely with many clients throughout the country, from libraries, colleges and museums, to the antiquarian and book publishing trades. Our reputation for a high quality service has largely grown by word of mouth. We are happy to advise you on how to protect your collections for the future.

We enjoy the variety and challenges of our work, from the rebinding and repair of books, to disaster response for those collections damaged by floodwaters or fire. For more see our Website.
