To celebrate the publication of the Volume of the Journal of Paper Conservation in memory of the late Christopher Clarkson (https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/yjpc20/20/1-4), on the 28th January 2021, IADA (International Association of Book and Paper Conservators) organized an online launch during which authors of the published papers were invited to present their research in a series of 10 min lightning talks and Q&A. Christopher Clarkson devoted most of his working life to the study and understanding of manuscripts and early printed books. As an archaeologist of the book, his teachings focused on honing craft-based skills and visual observation and combined them with an acute historical awareness that created a deeper degree of understanding and respect for the integrity of a historical artefact. His extraordinary knowledge and his dedication to passing on that knowledge to others have left an indelible mark on many institutions around the world, as have his innovative approach to his work and his seminal publications, which remain an essential part of a book conservator’s repertoire. The exacting levels of craftsmanship to which he worked have set a high standard in the field of book conservation. These articles by a wide range of eminent scholars and conservators from many different countries reflect the influence Christopher Clarkson has left on the discipline. The JPC volume 20 (issues 1–4) was released as a single volume dedicated to Christopher Clarkson. This volume contains contributions written by scholars and practitioners who wanted to share research and work influenced or prompted by Clarkson’s philosophy. The volume also collects a number of biographical submissions on his influence and work as well as Clarkson’s last unpublished paper. The authors presented in the following order: First session
