Restoration is defined by the Library of Congress in Washington as: "The conscious, deliberate and planned supervision, care and preservation of the total resources of a library archive or similar institution from the injurious effect of age, use or misuse as well as external or internal influences of all kinds
Conservation is defined by the Library of Congress in Washington as: "The process of returning a book, document or other archival material as nearly as possible to its original condition. The entire scope of restoration ranges from the repair of a torn leaf or removal of a simple stain to the complete rehabilitation of the material. Restoration, therefore, encompasses virtually the entire range of bookwork, mending, repairing, rebinding and re-conditioning."
