manuscripts preservation

Manuscript preservation involves protecting and maintaining old written documents, such as books, letters, and historical records, to ensure they remain accessible for future generations. This process includes controlling environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and light, using proper handling techniques, and applying specialized conservation methods to repair or stabilize fragile materials. Preservation also involves storing manuscripts in appropriate containers and environments to prevent deterioration from pests, mold, or aging. The goal is to slow down decay, prevent damage, and maintain the authenticity and integrity of these valuable historical artifacts.
