Role you're checking

Bookbinder

Trades

Bookbinders in India work across three distinct tracks: court bookbinders who produce case-bound record volumes and ledgers for the Bombay High Court, Supreme Court, and district courts; library and archive restorers at institutions like the Asiatic Society Mumbai, National Library Kolkata, and National Archives of India Delhi who stabilise deteriorating manuscripts, de-acidify paper, and reback aged codices; and artist's bookmakers and conservation specialists working through studios like Curator's Bindery Bangalore, and INTACH's Art Conservation Centre in Lucknow and Delhi who handle private collectors, museum commissions, and palm-leaf manuscript documentation. Entry paths are informal apprenticeship at a court bindery, short conservation courses at INTACH ArtCons or the National Museum Institute, or self-taught routes for the artist's-book niche. No formal ITI trade exists for bookbinding in India; ICCM (Indian Conservation & Cultural Studies for Museums) and AIC (American Institute for Conservation) credentialing are the recognised marks of seriousness in the heritage-conservation segment.
