Papel Vegetal (on conservation techniques)

Papel Vegetal, or vegetable parchment, is a translucent paper made from fibers, often from plant sources. It's commonly used in conservation techniques to protect and preserve documents, art, and photographs by providing a barrier against light and moisture. This paper is acid-free, ensuring that it does not damage the items it covers. Its strength and flexibility make it ideal for wrapping or interleaving fragile materials. Conservationists value Papel Vegetal for its ability to shield valuable items while allowing visibility, making it a practical choice for archives and museums dedicated to preserving cultural heritage.
