Engramzine
With Engramzine we do not aim to present a digital and periodical journal, no, we just want to create a place to publish articles about bindings, binders etc.
The articles are published in Dutch, occasionally there is a translation in English.
You can find Engramzine also via the digitale platform of the Erfgoedbibliotheek Hendrik Conscience in Antwerp and the Belgisch Nederlands Boekbanden Genootschap

Restoration of a headband with parchment core is translated by Ayla Van Eechaute.
The completion of this board closure was part of the restoration of this 15th century binding.
The day I started as an apprentice in 1985, I started collecting old or antique bookbinding tools and machinery.
