Much of this material was indexed at the time but the collection has recently been added to by the inclusion of a number of historically important arrangement plans and other papers which were previously uncatalogued. A former airship pilot and a passionate advocate for the use of airships, Lord Ventry was the editor of The Airship journal from Vol 1 No 1 Spring 1934 Vol 7 No 6 Winter 1948/49 and co-author of Jane’s Pocket Book of Airship Development

(London: Macdonald & Janes. 1976) and Airship Saga (Poole: Blandford Press Ltd 1982). Some of the ‘highlights’ of the collection are summarised below: Mooring Experiments carried out with R26.

Funded through a combination of the Foyle Foundation, the Royal Aeronautical Society Foundation, proceedings from the National Aerospace Library’s stand at its Aerospace and Aviation Book Fairs and the sponsorship of J R Thirkettle CEng MRAeS, over the past five years almost the entire collection of 18th and 19th century ballooning lithographs, posters and fabrics has been archivally conserved. This major conservation project has involved the lithographs and posters being carefully separated by the conservators Riley, Dunn and Wilson Ltd

of Falkirk from their old board mountings, archivally repaired and individually encapsulated in a polyester laminate (and housed in made-to-measure archival storage boxes) which means that they can be handled and studied without damaging the originals. As described in The Aerospace Professional in January 2011 (p 15) the Cuthbert-Hodgson Collection also includes a number of original fabrics from notable balloons. A detailed conservation project of these surviving fabrics and other associated ballooning ephemera has now been undertaken by Zenzie Tinker Textile Conservation (www.zenzietinkercouk; T +44 (0)1273 685222) As with the lithographs and posters, each fabric sample and other ephemera held in the collection had to be very carefully removed from its old card mounts prior to conservation treatment and cleaning. Those samples that were damaged or extremely fragile were supported with a fine Japanese paper, using wheat starch paste as the adhesive. Both the paper and the textile

samples were treated in this way, except for the two larger textile samples which were supported with a reversible, conservation adhesive treated silk crepeline applied to the back of the sample and further supported with some laid stitching for extra strength. Annotations and labels, if written on or attached to the previous mount, were removed and tipped in to the new mount using wheat starch paste. The windows were attached to the back boards using a 48 AEROSPACE / JUNE 2014 hinge of linen tape running down the left hand side and Melinex sheets were hinged from the top edge of the back boards, over the samples, to protect them while also enabling future access to the samples which are now housed in two new madeto-measure solander boxes. The fabrics collection includes among others fragments from the hot air balloon in which Pilatre de Rozier and the Marquis d’Arlandes made the world’s first aerial voyage on 21 November 1783; Chevalier de Moret’s hot air balloon destroyed by

fire at Chelsea, 10 August 1784; Cocking’s parachute; Garnerin’s balloon c.1803-1804; Dean’s Rarefied Air Balloon 1819; Graham Coronation Balloon, 1824; J W Hoar’s Immense Hot Air Balloon ‘destroyed by the crowd, May 1838’, Mrs Graham’s Gas Balloon of August 1830 and from her wrecked balloon of 1851; samples of silk used in Charles Green’s Victoria and Nassau balloons, 1831-37; John Hamptons’ balloon, 1838; Comte de Lennox’s cylindrical airship ‘The Eagle’ 1835 and fragments of contemporary printed chintz with intricate ballooning designs among other artefacts and ephemera. The origins of the collection can be traced to the Cuthbert Aeronautical Collection of John Cuthbert who started collecting early aeronautica pre-1820s and over time his collection was bought by J E Hodgson, a bibliophile and aviation historian who was the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Honorary Librarian during c.1920s-1930s, who added to the collection which was purchased in its entirety

in 1948 by Sir Frederick Handley Page and presented to the Royal Aeronautical Society in order to preserve the collection for the nation.

Funded by a major bequest to the Library from the estate of the former NASA scientist Dr Charles E Billings FRAeS, many ‘highlights’ from the collection were digitally photographed in 2011 and a wide selection (238 images) of the 18th and 19th century ballooning lithographs and posters can be viewed via the website: RAeS (NAL).

RAeS (NAL) www.aerosocietycom/printsandposters Now this collection which contains many items of historic interest which are older than, for example, the American Constitution and pre-date the French Revolution has been preserved for current and future generations to view and research, detailed catalogue records of the individual ballooning lithographs, posters and fabrics (765 items) having been compiled on behalf of the Library staff by retired volunteer and Society member Mike Stanberry MRAeS. The Cuthbert-Hodgson Collection also incorporates one of the world’s finest collections of early aeronautical and aviation books recording the development of aerial flight and representations of it through the ages.

Adopt-a-Book An archival conservation study has been undertaken of these older volumes, identifying those particular titles which, due to a combination of age and use, are in need of archival conservation. The average cost for those books needing attention to be conserved in their original bindings (with the cloth rebacked and spines remounted and/or made-tomeasure archival solander boxes produced to house the material) is about £110 plus VAT per volume. If any individual member, company or organisation would like to contribute to the cost of conserving these historic volumes please contact under the Library’s ‘Adopt-a-Book’ conservation programme, Brian Riddle, Chief Librarian (+44 (0)1252 701060; E brian.riddle@aerosocietycom) Photographic Archive Online The National Aerospace Library holds a very extensive photographic collection of aviation images (well over 100,000) dating from the early days of ballooning through to the modern technology aircraft, missiles and rockets of

today. It also includes numerous aviation personalities across the same period. Assembled over the decades through numerous donations from aircraft companies, organisations and individuals, the photographic archive is a major visual record of the development of aviation through the ages. Over 8,000 images from the collection (more to follow) can now be viewed online at: www.aersosocietycom/printsandposters alongside over 440 vintage colour aviation posters/magazine covers/air show programmes/ airline timetables/decorative book covers/ ballooning lithographs, etc. from the Library’s Find us on Twitter i Find us on LinkedIn f archives.
