paper conservation

Paper conservation is the practice of preserving and protecting paper materials, such as books, documents, and artworks, to ensure their longevity and integrity. Conservators assess the condition of the paper, addressing issues like deterioration, damage, or contamination. Techniques may include cleaning, repairing tears, and using archival-quality materials for storage and display. The goal is to maintain the original appearance and structure while preventing further decay, allowing future generations to access and appreciate important written or printed works without compromising their historical value.
