paper restoration
Paper restoration involves carefully repairing and preserving old or damaged documents to restore their physical integrity and extend their lifespan. Conservators use specialized techniques, such as cleaning, mending tears with delicate materials, deacidifying to prevent deterioration, and sometimes reinforcing weak areas. The goal is to stabilize the paper, maintain its historical and informational value, and prevent further damage while respecting its original characteristics. This meticulous process helps ensure that important texts, artworks, or records remain accessible and intact for future generations.
