In this note we address two mistakes contained in two important censuses of the extant copies of the Gutenberg 42-line bible. The mistakes have to do with the so-called "increase of edition'' that took place when the printing work had already started, entailing that a number of pages had to be composed twice, producing clearly different outputs. In summary, the mistakes involve the copies known as V2 and P24, today in the Huntington and the Widener Libraries, respectively, and amount to a misclassification of some pages concerning the composition setting to which they belong.

In early , conservator Charles Muskavitch (-) proposed to found a conservation training program at the University of California campus in Davis, near Sacramento. Together with art historian Joseph Armstrong Baird, Jr. (-), Muskavitch launched the Laboratory for Research in the Fine Arts and Museology in July  as a West Coast counterpart to the Intermuseum Laboratory at Oberlin and the Conservation Center at New York University. As the first university-based conservation program in the Western United States, it treated artworks from throughout California and intended to offer a -year diploma in conservation to art history graduate students. From the beginning, undergraduates were also involved in its activities. However, the graduate diploma was never introduced and Muskavitch retired in . The Laboratory closed seven years later, after the departure of its second director, Gerald R. Hoepfner. Drawing upon unpublished archives and interviews, this article investigates the origins, development, and dissolution of the Laboratory. It concludes that its failure was due to complex institutional politics and a perception of theoretical divergence from the art history program, rather than merely the result of ongoing budget cuts.
