More on Tim: Timothy Barrett is professor emeritus in the University of Iowa Center for the Book and the School of Library and Information Science. His career started with a Fulbright Fellowship where he studied papermaking in Japan. His later research on early European handmade papers resulted in his receiving a MacArthur Fellowship in 2009. He specializes in handmade papers for fine press printers, book artists, and conservators of rare books and works of art on paper. One of his many achievements was to produce a special paper for the Charters of Freedom at the National Archives Rotunda in Washington DC, where our nation’s Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and Constitution rest on the paper he created with his students and colleagues. Barrett is author of three books, one website, eight videos, and thirty-six articles or book chapters on the history, technique, science, and aesthetics of hand papermaking. He was director of the Center between 1996 and 2002 and again became director in the fall of 2012 until his retirement in May of 2020. Examples of his work will also be on display. The William D. Minter Lectureship in Conservation was established in 2019 to raise awareness and advance the knowledge of book and special collection conservation history, theory, and practice.
