Deacidification, neutralization, and alkaline reserve are the trio that paper conservators rely on to save the day.
The Art of Preservation: Deacidification, Neutralization, and Alkaline Reserve in Paper Conservation
Conductivity: The Unsung Hero of Paper Conservation!
Ensuring precise measurement of the initial paper conductivity and tailoring aqueous treatment baths accordingly can help prevent structural damage to the paper. Monitoring conductivity during the treatment process will assist in determining when the action of a bath is completed and the next stage of treatment can commence. Incorporating these kind of procedures as standard practice in paper conservation can provide conservators with safer, more effective, and easily controllable treatment methods.
