PAPER CONSERVATION

Picture

Overview

Excess humidity, water soaking, molds, mice, insects, and air pollution are typical sources of damage to paper, resulting in wrinkles, distortions, tears, holes, and stains. Washing, color toning, re-sizing, acid buffering, tissue laminates, infills:  These remedial procedures are judiciously considered and applied in our stabilization and restorations of paper.
