A conservation project in Ireland is underway to preserve a 650-year-old ecclesiastical register that belonged to Archbishop Milo Sweteman. Experts at PRONI are repairing its fragile pages as part of a broader initiative to safeguard historical records from the medieval period. The register, which contains various legal documents, is rare, with paper from before 1450 being particularly scarce. The project is part of the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland, aiming to reconstruct historical archives lost in a fire during the Irish Civil War. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
